[edit] Contradiction

I've noticed a contadiction in the first paragraph:

...its members debated such issues as American science and Scottish political economy. The subjects of the conversations - and the books that supported them - were wide-ranging, but religion and politics were prohibited.

If talking about politics was prohibited, how could they talk about Scottish politics? Can anyone clarify? MSGJ (talk) 11:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
