I see that Watumull is one of the coauthors. I'm not sure what's going on with that, but Watumull is the common thread running through other bad papers with otherwise-sensible linguists' names tacked on to them, such as this bizarre paper about recursion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3884515/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3884515/ I haven't had a chance to read the NYTimes editorial, but I would be skeptical how much of it is really coming from Chomsky. He's 94 at this point, and while he's not senile in a medical sense, I don't think his judgement is what it used to be.
