Re your comment on the appeal to authority: Yes, of course, but not all risks are equal. It is one thing for me to dispute a judgment in a topic of which I know little and quite another for me to dispute a judgment in a topic I know deeply. Some authorities are very wrong. Some are better than others. Some are way better. Some are nearly unassailable. None is infallable. Hauser ranks well above the bottom.
