Roy Edroso recently did a nice job skewering this silly argument, which Prof. InstaHack liked so much he repeated it again today. Said the sage of Knoxville: Lyndon Baines Johnson.
My inagural NYC post. I will note only that 1)it is blistering hot, 2)my stuff arrived four hours late, and 3)my desk was destroyed.
