I would think the metaphor is quite precise, since the same force that distorts a commercial market place -- accrued power -- also distorts an academic one. I guess you might say -- I might say -- that when Sober publishes in a behavior journal, he is using his power in one domain -- philosophy of biology -- to tour in another. To make that case I would have to show that the argument he makes is not only shabby in behavioral terms, but no reason to claim that behavioral presuppositions are inconsistent with more general principles of science. A heavy lift?
