Yup, and Pivar and Fodor were not on the list. Duh. |
That's sorta like saying that even if Walt Brown got it wrong about the asteroid belt or the Oort cloud in one section of his book, you need to read the rest of it, just in case he didn't make that mistake later.
If Luskin (or Brown) get it wrong once, I don't really see that one has an obligation to look further to see if they get it right later. Once should be enough to allow someone to say "That's wrong".
