Dear Tipsters, Kudos to Stephen on the detailed critical analysis of claims made about psychologists and also on the issue of author ethics. We cannot permit editors to get away with the kind of practice that he was subjected to.

No, no. They did want to make corrections, and in fact did, including changes at the bottom of the list. I was actually rather sorry that one of the errors I found resulted in Margaret Washburn being booted from the list. She was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in psychology (according to Wiki). Hagbloom's mistake was in crediting her with an eponym (the Cannon-Washburn experiment) which wasn't hers. The Washburn in question was actually Cannon's graduate student, whose main claim to fame seems to be that he swallowed a balloon so that Cannon could measure stomach motility (the first documented case of graduate student exploitation?). As a reviewer of my commentary observed, "It would have been highly unlikely for Miss Washburn to have subjected herself to such an indignity". My dispute with _Review of General Psychology_ was that they didn't want to publish my commentary but they did want to help themselves to the information it contained, without my permission of course. Seemed pretty blatant to me. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
