Despite the punchy title (as usual), this is a good and nuanced discussion of the issue. Highly recommended. Personally, I feel that the "opposition to opposition" is less of a problem than Gelman thinks, mainly because (a) these people will die out (literally, at some point), and (b) I believe (and hope) that professionalization in science is a ratchet.
