It was published as part of a special issue on Interventionist Knowledges edited by my friends Eric Hounshell and Verena Halsmeyer. The special issue examines cases where policymakers and others tried to "apply" social scientific knowledge to policy problems.

Agree. I'm going back to reading quizzes in some of my undergrad classes, but I don't think that's an answer to the whole problem.
