Absolutely true. There's no need to reach out for comment before publishing a piece critiquing written ideas. (e.g., nobody who has ever written a thing about anything I've written has reached out to me in advance). Not why we have journalistic norms of requesting comment.https://twitter.com/conor64/status/1214366068145156096 …

Replying to @baseballcrank @RameshPonnuru
I generally ask for comment if time has passed since whatever it was was written.

If it's a really old piece, it's fairer to find out if the writer still stands by it. Obviously my training as a lawyer is to pin someone down publicly on what they wrote first, then have a further back & forth to deal with the explanation.

Ought to be a difference between just some written piece and a major project that's the centerpiece of an educational program about to debut.

Yeah, there is a reason why there is no parallel norm in scholarship. You write your thing, other people comment, you respond in your own piece, everybody cites each other so the reader can follow.
