"but it is not the integrity of a scholar of psychology like Christopher Chabris."
Separate issue and point is that a sure way to make a name for yourself (I mean he may be well know in his circles or your circles but I've never ever heard of him) is to take on someone of much greater fame.
For example, let me give you the path here:
I participate in HN
"tokenadult" is well respected on HN.
I respect what "tokenadult" says. So do others his comment is at the top.
tokenadult called Chris Chabris "a scholar of psychology"
I decided to do some more checking on Chris Chabris and found out he graduated from and also did some teaching at Harvard.
I wouldn't know any of this if Chris hadn't written the critique of Malcolm Gladwell. Which caught my eye because it was about Gladwell
Disclosure: I've dealt with Malcolm Gladwell in business. [1]
