Not knowing the good purfesser's politics, he may in fact be stating the truth; that is, he went into this not knowing what to expect. Yeah I know, hard to believe, but possible. He is after all a college purfesser, and he's supposed to have that scientific method down pat ; ) IF his methods cannot be faulted AND he's stating what to to us is the obvious; what's the beef? Let 'im sell a gazillion copies! If he makes a million buck$, I don't care because he(hope springs eternal) may reach some of academia who themselves refuse introspection.

The utopian social dreamers cannot even consider their own idealistic notions as being faulty. They function in a dream world where there is no accountability, responsibility, or productivity. They mooch off of us, just like big gubmint. Dog turds in a cantaloupe patch; nothing more.
Put that in yer pipe and smoke it, you verbose ol' fart : )
