Gladwell is one of those people I itch to truly skewer in a blog post. I have resisted temptation so far, because the blowback might be more than the fun is worth.

But the Register piece fails to critique him correctly… he is overrated, but isn’t your run-of-the-mill huckster. It takes more work to truly understand why he got so big despite the deep flaws in his thinking/writing. I did do a pretty critical review of Surowiecki (a lesser god, so more safely critique-able). Anderson though doesn’t belong in this gang. He actually does attempt to think harder and not accept his own conclusions too quickly.
