Did Dr. Sowell use, “even,” when he meant, “especially?”

I assume you are referring to this paragraph?

The results show how unreliable peer consensus can be, even when it is a peer consensus of highly intellectual people, if those people share a very similar vision of the world and treat its conclusions as axioms rather than as hypotheses that need to be checked against facts.

Can't either one be used?

I assumed he was talking about the title, "How Even Scholars Misread 90 Years Of Tax-Cut History"
