• A reply on Talk: Esther Duflo: Social experiments to fight poverty

  Jul 17 2012: Yes -- informed consent is a major problem. But consider the costs of not doing these experiments.

• A reply on Talk: Dan Dennett: Dangerous memes

• A reply on Talk: Clay Shirky: Institutions vs. collaboration

  Nov 5 2011: This is not an error in any sense. Look up "whine vs wine" on Wikipedia.

(In fact, checking his Wikipedia page says he is from Missouri.)
