All I meant is that there&#x27;s little point in <i>presuming</i> the statement is correct and then asking a followup, when there&#x27;s little reason to believe that it is in the first place. Aaronson doesn&#x27;t support this statement, nor does he argue it -- he just asserts it. In any event, my point had little to do with credentials and much to do with knowledge. I don&#x27;t think Aaronson claims he has too much knowledge in the social sciences, credentialed or otherwise. Would you also presume his medical advice to be correct?
