Far better Steven Pinker's reliance on rationality and data than the cultural criticism unmoored in tradition, logic, empiricism, tradition and logical coherence offered by his detractors http://j.mp/2tsii25 @sapinker

Actually, the main problem pointed out by critics is that his data are largely wrong, and his assumptions empurically and logically unsupported.

But, "have been wrong all along" is actually neither empirical nor logical. They have been wrong about some things, and right about others. Isn't it gross malpractice to elide the many revisions, reversions and extrapolations that have occurred between the 17th c. and today?
