Quote:He routinely claims not to know much about it... and then throws the considerable weight of his opinion behind trashing it in public and in print.

I'm not going to say that scientists should simply stay in their own narrow field and never, ever look out at the world (quite the opposite), but it strikes me as irresponsible to not just express skepticism, but mount a full on attack on an entire discipline without actually doing the legwork. Even incredibly brilliant scientists have made painful blunders when making bold, public declarations about things outside their expertise. Genius is not universally transferable. If it was, Gary Kasparov wouldn't be a kook.

He uses his 'fame' for political reasons, and with that he places himself directly in the group of howler monkeys.
