For anyone who has read my "Can Pragmatists Be Moderate?" paper, this is sort of a companion to it: it articulated a problem for pragmatic encroachment views, while this paper articulates a positive (non-encroaching) view that avoids those problems while doing a lot of what PE was designed to do.

It doesn't prove that Alito's judgments are false, but it gives us reason to think they're unreliable, since the motivations aren't connected with the truth.

I suspect Goodin's singular devotion to the journal is the key factor. If he's running it like JPP, I believe he's reading every submission & desk rejecting lots before they go further. That'll make things run v efficiently, but the downside is it puts a big burden (and a lot of power) on one person

Little bit of a preview of some of the arguments of the paper engaging with your work on this that I intend to eventually write up properly!
