Which exact passage of my piece triggered this bizarre interpretation? What made you jump from "someone criticizes a 1990 paper in Science for withholding critical control group data" to "this person is subject to magical thinking"?

As it happens, I often run into trouble due to my conceptualist views on the foundations of mathematics (that is, I'm a hardcore physicalist & anti-Platonist cognitivist, which is quite rare among mathematicians), so I find your criticism particularly unfair.

I don't care if you find it fair. If you can't accept that genetics determines the entire organism (stress: entire) and does not stop at the neck, then you'd perceive my later criticisms as much worse than - gasp! oh great heavens! my pearls! - unfair. It is a bitter pill to swallow that some people were simply born with better hardware than yourself, one you are obviously railing against. Now, rush on and down vote this comment as well to lighten the burden of your cognitive dissonance. I'm also finding it difficult to reconcile your use of the flag/report on the parent comment versus the rules dictating and describing what is disallowed content. Disagreement is not against the rules. Perceived "fairness" is not in the rules.

Not a word of this responds to the article itself; it's just a series of subjective judgements you've made about the author and have decided to argue about instead. Always the hallmark of a strong position!
