You refuted one point which isn't relevant to the overall argument -- in fact, Hardin not having logic to back up the analysis makes my point stronger, since it's just his interpretation that Anacreon wants turn Terminus into a fiefdom.
You have not even responded to my overall point about the Foundation's actions towards the Four Kingdoms are nothing more than imperialism, nor shown that expecting the alleged good guys to use their technological and economic advantages as leverage to encourage the kingdoms towards democracy is more absurd than Asimov's, "And then everyone converted to a new religion based upon nuclear power." I mean, on the one hand you have something that's happened within living memory, and on the other you have a geek power fantasy where the Schmot Guys can make up any non-sense and the common folks are dumb enough to believe it.
