Noah Smith notes that I posted a link to the Conley-Dupor paper without noting any of its flaws.
This is entirely true, but doesn’t suggest, as some might suspect, that I supported the paper. In truth, the questions Arnold Kling when raised when referring to the paper made me think of something and I wanted to make a quick comment.
It was also late at night, post-Ambien and by the time I hit post I had forgotten what I had intended to write about in the first place. This is how blogging is often done.
Sorry.

Karl – I definitely didn’t mean to say that you supported the paper. We all link to things that we don’t agree with 100%, and often we don’t have time to critique them.
I was just noting how these memes propagate through the blogosphere, and errors don’t get caught, especially when the initiator of the meme is someone as respected as Greg Mankiw. Trusting Mankiw to post good stuff is a very second-order mistake…
