I hadn't seen this, so I was glad it was resubmitted. I think he has a fair point. Here on HN I see a lot of armchair sociologists critique the various articles in the social sciences that get posted, but it's rather unclear to me whether these are well grounded in an actual understanding of the issues involved, or simply habitual incantations of rules of thumb such as "correlation doesn't imply causation."
