26 A larger question of the nature of criticism itself is important to consider. The life blood of any scholarly profession depends on tough critical argument and debate. A disturbing characteristic of the recent argument involving Arthur Jensen with respect to Negro intelligence in America has been not that he hasn't been criticized, but that many of the more serious charges against his work go unanswered. For example, see Hirsch, Jerry, “Jensenism: The Bankruptcy of ‘Science’ Without Scholarship,” United States Congressional Record, Vol. 122: No. 73, E2671–2; No. 74, E2693–5; No. 75, E2703–5, E2716–8, E2721–2, 1976.
