Dispatches. MMR: What They Didn't Tell You

I am very grateful to Christina England but there is a further point
I would like to make. In my opinion Simon Baron-Cohen is not simply wrong
because he fails to show respect for an alternative belief system, he is
wrong because he arrogantly dismisses the testimony of people who
contradict his own theory based on their experience. He says he will
happily give up his theory if disproved on the one hand, but on the other
those that not only think differently but possess contradictory knowledge
are shown the door. The intolerance hides scientific weakness, and this is
the way public discussion of science is now conducted.
