In a conference session devoted to the discussion of his ideas in 1953, he complained: "As I listened to the papers I felt that I have only a historical connection with this thing called 'operationalism.' In short, I feel that I have created a Frankenstein, which has certainly got away from me. I abhor the word operationalism or operationism, which seems to imply a dogma, or at least a thesis of some kind. The thing I have envisaged is too simple to be dignified by so pretentious a name; rather, it is an attitude or point of view generated by continued practice of operational analysis" (Bridgman in Frank 1954, 74-75).
