I owe 'em a call, I'll ask if they'd be willing to chat. Dad in particular has been retired for maybe 5(?) years but he's still up on at least the psych omnicrisis And they're bored in quarantine so I think they might enjoy the distraction :)

(2) Paul Meehl. Almost surely dead. Maybe crackpot? Was tight with the philosophy department, did a lot of philosophy of science / psychology. Something about the slow pace of progress and null hypotheses, maybe wrote decades ago

That's what I've got. Sorry I didn't get more down--i sort of thought they'd just say yes so I wasn't expecting to take notes. Shows what they think of their second-born son ig
