This is how the activists are exploiting it

I wrote this last August when the preprint of a recently published study (by Brennan and Cornish) came out.

First, they take the "s" from maths, now this:

I'm sorry your life has come to this.

Wishing you well.

The NYT didn't insinuate anything. It said that's what Olson-Kennedy told them. One part is a paraphrase, but nothing in the fact check seems to suggest she didn't say it. The fact check only seeks to find context in which doing what she admitted doing is more palatable.

That makes no sense. Zucker was forced out by people less expert in the field than himself.

Shot his reputation with whom? Doesn't matter what other dirt you dig up, it doesn't change the fact that Zucker faced false accusations and Singal was right to report on that.

Er... you do know what happened next don't you?
December 11, 2024 at 3:51 PM
There clearly is another side to that thread. Subsequent events seem to vindicate Singal's reporting.

You might need to catch up on that story.

Singal's despised for having been right. What happened to Zucker did turn out to have been irregular and unfair.

It appears to be relitigating something that was resolved a long time ago.

You clearly haven't been keeping up with this story.

Slightly amused at this. I have expressed a low opinion of her journalism, but only because of all the false information in it. Retreating to an echo chamber is hardly going to help.

I think he blocked you after you falsely accused him of lying.
