How the heck does he get away with it? Every time I see him published somewhere "reputable," I wonder this. How is he NOT seen through? Even NPR gives him props. I don't get it. Does he have some sort of mind-scramble-mix-ray that all but the readers of IDM are susceptible to? Some polyfragmatic/axiomatic/paradigm-pitching brain-musher that melts the critical capacities of otherwise capable editors? Or is everyone in publishing a sucker?
