      I think there's been some pretty serious motte-and-bailey-ing in discussion of the hoax. It's broadly taken to undermine "PC" scholarship generally, and when you say that it doesn't do that, there's retreat to a more defensible specific claim that isn't very significant.

      This is my biggest gripe - on paper (screen?) it's one thing, on Twitter and in media outlets, it's an entirely different thing. It *has to* shapeshift - eg, now 'grievance studies' means a methodology, whereas in the piece it's 'these fields'. https://ketanjoshi.co/2018/10/06/the-gender-studies-fakery-doesnt-help-it-hinders-and-its-meant-to/ …pic.twitter.com/El9Scn45M3

      You've actually screenshotted the part which describes the methodology. How is this not clear? We are talking about subdisciplines that use it. It doesn't crop up randomly but is confined to identity studies. This is not to say that identity cannot be studied rigorously.

      I reckon that bit'd read differently if you were studying a methodology or an attitude that seeps, at differing degrees, into a range of fields. Above, a 'common goal' is the linking string, not 'high penetration of a seperate methodology we've identified elsewhere'

      In your article, 'grievance studies' is a loaded umbrella term that targets everything within a collection of fields, but post-publication, the definition has been retro-actively changed to mean a methodology or an approach prominent in those fields.

      No, it hasn't. You even screenshotted the section in which we said specifically what approach to identity studies we were criticising and are ignoring the discussion which says this is not the case and asks people not to say that it is.

      Like with everything else associated with your project, I find the public pronouncement to be far more telling indications of intent than the content of the original post, when it comes to figuring out exactly who and what the targets really are.pic.twitter.com/DmgdjloPUT

      I have been fully open about my intent. I have criticised these fields for years before doing the project. I am writing a book about the problem. That's why I did the project. Why do you find it suspicious that people who see a problem somewhere then investigate it?

      I don't want gender studies defunded. I want it made rigorous. I'd actually like to teach it. I understand why people think it is providing nothing worthwhile right now tho.

      Do you react in this way when feminists who have argued a problem to exist somewhere in regards to women's rights then investigate it and test this claim? Would you say 'Your previous statements show your intent to argue that sexism exists. Therefore looking for evidence is bad."

          It depends how they did it. If they mask the full number of trials, ignore all negative results, perform no statistical analysis, fail to disclose funders, avoid peer review and then describe the work as an 'experiment', then yes.

          You are being dishonest. We have revealed all the information in our fact sheet and provided all essays and reviews. We didn't need to mention the ones which failed but we did. What statistical analysis do you want & how would it work? How did we avoid peer review?

          Al-Gharbi argues that in an ideal world, they would have subjected their findings to peer review (1st image) -- but also acknowledges that it did not seem possible in this case (2nd image) due to the fact they were about to be "scooped" after being prematurely exposed.pic.twitter.com/UTWn7r8nvI

          Al-Gharbi was able to make determinations like the one attached here, precisely because the trio did provide rough information on thier failures.pic.twitter.com/PXeepqBv4p

          It is true they did not disclose thier donors, as would be typical for a published research paper. A recent article in @chronicle well-explains why this kind of disclosure is important for evaluating research: https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-Academic-Corruption-Works/244703 ….

          However, as it relates to the other criticisms, the trio DID disclose some information on failures, and peer-review may not have been a realistic option, all things considered.

          We disclosed all of it and even presented the early papers which failed and which we now cringe about having become much more proficient in the field. And no, the project is incomplete. We think 10, probably 12 would have got in but we cannot claim certainty of this.

          I was thinking specifically of your early papers, which are fleetingly mentioned in your video. Did I miss it in your post? I was looking for total # submitted, where they were submitted to, and to which journals. https://youtu.be/kVk9a5Jcd1k?t=166 …pic.twitter.com/TRqHE0lxgS
