Just curious, but why did you feel the compulsion to comment on an article you very clearly didn't even read?

  Just curious, why would you draw such a horribly flawed inference? I read the article closely, and I was also struck by the similarity of what he was trying to what Malcolm Gladwell does. And the end of the article the parallel is made very clearly.

    I'm guessing that binxbolling thought that desireco42's post was in response to the title, supplying Gladwell for "... wasn't the only ...". It's a common sort of generally useless comment.

    If an article mentions Gladwell several times, and someone asks if the article made anyone think of Gladwell, it's a pretty good guess that they didn't get to that part of it before commenting.

    I had to resist making the same comment that you replied to, because I felt like the article was at some pains to put Lehrer in the context of Gladwell. I too assumed that anyone who could ask this question probably hadn't read the article.

      Some pains - sure. But I would have been drawing the parallel anyways, and in fact was well before the article twisted that way.
