Those are great answers to those questions-— but again, Gonzalez’s research has literally nothing to do with trying to undermine TOE-— his target is the Mediocrity Principle, not Darwin.

Awesome tagline!

Thank you. And I’m working on the assumption that Gonzalez has done good work that would otherwise be worth of tenure. I’m also speculating that the university’s logic is similar to mine. There can be all kinds of political crap that goes into tenure decisions. Its possible that they really have a political reason at heart. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

But I’m saying that separate to whatever their motivation is, their decision would be justifiable on the grounds of the effect giving him tenure would have on the university.
