Hidden BL Lacertae Objects Near and Far

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I describe two difficulties with current research into the cosmic evolution of BL Lacertae Objects: (1). Possible sample incompleteness due to unrecognized (i.e., ``hidden'') BL Lacs; and (2). The absence of a viable physical model of the evolution, to which current and future observations can be compared.
