@bibliolater @bookstodon Rationality by Steven Pinker. I've enjoyed his various linguistic works, but this is hard going for me, as I'm not a statistician. I'll plug on though.

Wonder how much of it was written on Epstein's lolita island.

Interesting.
As a young bus driver in UK I used regularly to drive a young guitar-toting guy to a recording studio in my home town. When Roxanne became a massive hit in the UK I realised who he was. I'm still waiting to have my role acknowledged in Sting's great musical success.
I think of this story when I read such tales of guilt by association.
