Excellent post. I have not read the critiques besides Sensible Medicine. As an undergraduate I attended a lecture by Daryl and Sandra Bem extolling the virtues of living an “androgynous” lifestyle, purely in a social, not a physical sense. Stuck in my mind for some reason, they had persuasive way of making a connection with the audience.

Thank you! I wanted to check your claim that he was a compelling speaker. This talk is post-crisis and yes I would say so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAAXS1TK6bM

Not an endorsement. He seems unrepentant on the statistics in his paper, although he at least embraces the broad idea of rigor.

My recall is that they were pretty confident in their opinions. Of course so were many of us. I have not read his paper that you referenced and will do so. Thank you for the very interesting post.
