There is something ugly about Gladwell's response. Gladwell insinuates that Chabris has a rabid vendetta against Gladwell and is trying to make a name for himself as an iconoclast. It might be true, but I would have liked the response to have taken a high road. 1) He emphasizes that Chabris has written <bold>three</bold> critiques of him as of date and will probably write a fourth 2) He calls the request for debate silly, making Chabris look agressive. 3) Notes that "I clearly drive Chabris crazy" Everybody loses when the conversation turns personal.
