I think we agree on the premise of the debate: that Ms. Morgan is
ignored by the professional community. We disagree on the result.
So...you are claiming that because Ms. Morgan is ignored by the
professionals, that she can (and does) get away with not providing accurate
and full citations when asked to by a critic?
You seem to be supporting Ms. Morgan's desire to continue to dodge bullets
sent by serious people who want to check up on what she writes.
I think that, BECAUSE she is ignored by the professionals, she should make
every attempt to ACT like one anyway....and that means writing like a scientist. Elaine needs all the credibility and help that she can get. She won't get
it from her followers. There is nothing in it for her to knock herself out
for the already-converted.
