Perhaps Harriot was too wary of the difficulties that his work had nearly brought on him, or perhaps he did (as he claimed to Kepler) still intend to publish his results if his health permitted.
Marahil Harriot ay masyadong maalaga ng paghihirap na ang kanyang trabaho ay may malapit na nagdala sa kaniya, o marahil siya ay (bilang siya inaangkin sa Kepler) pa rin mag-publish ng kanyang mga resulta ng kanyang kalusugan kung pinahihintulutan.
