It seems pretty clear the author has been biased by the area he works in. Public policy may or may not be some type of objective science, but it's certainly under the influence of politics: which means he's subjected regularly to the most arbitrary unscrupulous insanity from random laymen.

I have no doubt the author is subjected to this ad nauseam. 1: http://paulgraham.com/identity.html http://paulgraham.com/identity.html
