Speaking of being noticed, I had no idea who that guy was, until I read about him on your page here. But he does write eloquently and, I think, what adds to it is the truth in what he's getting at in your quote above. It seems perfectly clear that most "social science" (and especially mixed with humanities like AmCiv or history) is not even a little rigorous and tend to get mired in the difficulty of the subject. But on the other hand you have stuff like his basic point, there are perceptions out there that are just wrong (a majority of them, I think), and they influence the decisions people make about how to deal with each other, politics, and on and on. As tough as it is to study something you can barely define, it's worth doing
