Education is a field in which folks with very different and contradictory opinions work side by side, and they often don’t know they differ.

@Pat Indeed! The author in this particular case becomes less convincing as one looks deeper.

When “is it supported by observation?” replaced “doesn’t this make sense?” you are beginning to understand how it works.
What do we do with books in which the author makes some compelling arguments in early chapters, then makes some pseudoscientific claims later? I'm talking claims that have been discredited for decades.

Calls to clean the air
must be opposed
for they would start us down
a very slippery slope,
sure it may start
with cleaning the air
but what’s next:
clean water or clean energy?
That is a dangerous path
better to tell everyone
that they are lucky
just to be breathing.
