Casey is a gentleman and a scholar, and very much disposed to finding the best in people.

It will come as no surprise that Egnor has mis-construed the quote. The whole article is fascinating, raising some important issues about how science is communicated, and how the value of expertise should be seen.

It is fun to dip into the various threads to watch cluelessness at work in the hands of the confident exponent. - Soapy Sam (so say we all)
