My thoughts are somewhat similar to Stephen's, although not directly related to Kamin's knowledge of statistics. I have wondered how a rat-runner interested in basic conditioning phenomena can pass himself off as an expert in these other areas! (Maybe the same way a rat-runner becomes involved in education reform.)
Perhaps as fascinating is the reverse question: Why was a politically active Marxist involved with basic lab studies of conditioning (i.e., Solomon, Kamin, & Wynne, 1953)? Kamin's PhD was granted in 1954.
I took an undergraduate honors class with Dick Solomon and I remember him reminiscing one day about Kamin's strong political views at that time.
