ERROR-CORRECTION UPDATE: Yesterday I posted an update to this post on that controversial NAS gun study, with an email from a then-insider who said that his proposals to add balance to the panel were sneered at. Well, though they were sneered at, he notes in a new email that I’ve added to the post that they were also followed up on later, something he hadn’t realized at the time he emailed me. That suggests a laudable degree of open-mindedness in deed, if not in word. (“In sneer?” Whatever).
