I disagree. Patenting a method for manufacturing something seems quite 
reasonable to me. Why would you want to deny a drug company patents on a 
better way to make a particular drug, or deny a tire company a patent on how 
to vulcanize rubber with less pollution?  That's a serious question here. Is 
there some reason I can't think of why such patents are a bad idea, assuming 
that one believes *any* patents are a good idea?
