Shorter Romm v Kloor

Miaow.

(but am I supposed to care?)

I don't read Romm when I can avoid it. I have come across Keith Kloor's name a few times but not enough to really know what he thinks and how good he is (sorry). I see mentioned that he hadn't even read Superfreakonomics before getting embroiled in the argument, which seems a touch foolhardy to me. However he promised a week ago (28/10) that he would read it "in the next week" so assuming he's as good as his word we can all look forward to his informed commentary shortly...

    Perhaps they're better left unsung.
