Thanks Civ. It seems Herndon and a few others are fighting a lonely battle against the the insidious politicalization of science that has been going on for decades. Truly the REAL political science. The other SOFT field of study would be more aptly be named “scientific politics”, no? Whatever... In any case, they could use all the help they can get but I haven’t a clue myself how to lend a hand.
Keep it on the front burner.
