I don’t think I missed your point, Andrew, I just don’t think you have any real evidence for that point. You originally said that Kass should be embarrassed by Blackburn’s account of the reasons she was dismissed, and linked to Ronald Bailey, who claims that it suggests that Kass was dishonest about that dismissal. Now you again suggest that he has been shown to be dishonest in his own account of her dismissal. But he hasn’t been shown to be dishonest, and so there is no reason for him to be embarrassed. All we have on the anti-Kass side of the ledger here is Blackburn’s impression, and I see no reason to credit it given that other things she says in the interview are demonstrably untrue.
