Interesting that he worships as well at the altar of Chomsky, who has long been controversial among hardcore Darwinists because of his contention that the mechanism of natural selection is not sufficient to explain the phenomenon of (human) language. That shows a bit of open-mindedness on his part.

Chomsky hardly shows the open-minded self-critical attitudes Hauser claims, though. The reason Chomsky keeps changing his theories is, to all appearances, because he wants to claim the underlying idea behind “Cartesian Linguistics” is correct and only the details, which have been continually disproven, are wrong. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=16352

The deal with Hauser’s “cheap trick” on his daughter is disturbing to say the least.

As recited later in his interview
Hauser “works with” - i.e, works FOR - Chomsky
... and hence is beholden to him
for professional advancement.
