I'm not now sure exactly what I meant, but I believe I was thinking
primarily of the fact that f_*: Sh(X) --> Sh(Y) points in the same
direction as a continuous map f: X --> Y of spaces. On the other hand,
my assertion that f^* `embodies the algebraic aspects' of f is certainly
explained by A4.1 18 -- the fact that inverse image functors are unital
morphisms of geometric allegories.
