Extract

Everything I have published, apart from some ghost-written school speeches for my children, I have written as a social scientist. Having persuaded myself that I had discovered something worth reporting, I have attempted to persuade others that it was worth knowing. I have taken this to be consistent with the spirit of science, perhaps naively; a spirit encompassing, among other things, the value of public argument based on publicly reproducible evidence.
