More research is certainly needed before using counterfactual thinking to tackle conspiracy theories in the field, but our paper provides a promising first step.

I think that’s basically correct, and the methods are selected for maximizing interest but also for falling into the goldilocks zone of understanding: simple enough so that readers don’t feel entirely overwhelmed, complex enough so that they can’t quite see through and understand the limitations.

I wish he addressed how he handles in-class writing when 25% of his students have accommodations. E.g., how do you give them time and a half? Just do universal design, and when students complain, argue with the accommodations office that the total time allowed really is 1.5 * time intended?

I know several of the women who were harassed by this guy. They had real courage to testify. He engaged in serious professional retaliation against women.

This needs to end. I've seen how many people curry favor with known sexual harassers and how the worst can still manage to leap from job to job.

Sexual harassment is a scourge to academia and should have no place in our field. That it still does is, in part, because institutions still value academic prestige over the untold harms done to often early career scholars.
