This is not my area of expertise but I think Klass makes some very interesting points that affect all of us eventually. He calls out the BS in his field and is even prepared for the backlash. How is progress supposed to happen if sincerely held opinions have to be defended that way? One very minor criticism I have of the article is that when he says "Don’t get me wrong: there’s a lot of astonishingly good social science research" he doesn't provide any examples. I would have liked if he'd had.
What a good article.
