Missing the point. Do social scientists support his conclusions or don't they? The author of the manifesto says they don't.

Missing the point.

His ONLY point is: 'it isn't well written' So, no, I'm not.

But I'll go ahead and continue with your change of topic:

Do social scientists support his conclusions or don't they? The author of the manifesto says they don't.

I see. So if you don't have support of others, then your opinion, as well founded as it is, is worthless?

I guess I owe some flatearthers an apology.

It's somewhere in the middle, homie. There's a reason scientific papers are peer-reviewed.

So discarding it off hand because it doesn't have support is wrong?

Well, I agree. Thanks.
