Some very interesting discussion, reposted from X, about standards of accuracy in some research areas -- those who follow/read Slobodian might be interested.
My take is that the intellectual hygiene in some areas is terrible, and there is very limited interest in any self-correction.
Immigrants have founded or cofounded 59% (455 of 775) of America’s privately held startup companies valued at $1 billion or more, according to a new National Foundation for American Policy analysis nfap.com/research/new...
Unsurprisingly, it's mostly a shrug here except for a few people who pretend it is ok. I'll add another one in this genre that made my jaw drop.
To me (someone w/ no dog in this fight) your reply shows you are not a good scholar:
rather than publicly confronting the clear evidence of your misrepresenting your sources, you turn to (perhaps correct) personal criticism of Magness.
This is the behavior of (bad) politician, not a scholar.
