      Your whole analysis. I could go point-by-point, but it's pretty shocking. Felt like a reaction to rather than consideration of.

      I said at the end of the string that it was an initial offering, for the sake of more general discussion. So, in the original tweets I already indicated that I was saying something tentative and preliminary. If you have a particular concern I could try to speak to that

      Since I gave about a dozen different thoughts in the string, it would really help me if you could ask a more specific question about some particular thing you want to know my current thinking about.

      I don't understand why you seemed so eager to throw other subjects under the bus rather than to grapple directly with what we saw in grievance studies.

      I took the thrust of your characterization of what you were showing in your hoax to be that there was a special rot in the fields you focused on. To support the claim of a special problem in field X, it is not enough show that, in field X, a small sample of journals of unknown ..

          Plot twist: there's actually a spectacular amount of nonsense in all academic fields, and it's only a matter of time before all fields are exposed for being petty, political, and non-rigorous. Even the history of mathematics is filled with terrible ideas passionately defended.

          All fields? Really? I do wonder if you're one of the types who would jump to criticize us when climate change deniers point to our project and say "see, peer review is crap!"

          I see it's only a lack of awareness on your part. The actual history of climate change science is filled - to the brim - with scandals. Don't take my word for it. Please investigate before assuming. Here's a good primer by Matt Ridley. http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/what-the-climate-wars-did-to-science/ …

          In philosophy, we speak of "ad hominems"... but anyway, you really should check out the actual history of climate change science before throwing around the term "climate change deniers." Scandals are not isolated to the humanities.
