If they are legitimate and interesting questions, why aren't they probed further? They're throwaways.

In the article, describing Bem as a 'gentle Jewish kid from Denver who didn't care for sports' plays on a racial archetype in order to flesh out a character for the reader, but what does it have to do with his potentially fudging his data and changing the replication requirement in social sciences?

We could remove every bit of detail that doesn't directly relate to the conclusion of the article, but that would completely change its character. You seem to be applying newspaper standards to an article that doesn't even attempt to conform to those standards.

I am applying the standards of well written and organized thought to it, which should apply here.
