Jonah Lehrer has started a new blog (link here). I am personally of the opinion that he should be given a third (if last) chance.
Forgiveness is a virtue known only to humans. Forgetfulness is a still better advantage. I think we all would do well to exercise both more frequently. Am I wrong?
No, you're correct, but only if he acts like a reformed smoker around smokers. He should be annoyingly fastidious and his writing should be near unreadable for all the citations embedded within. Many will thus accuse him of hypocrisy when he finds inaccuracies or embellishments in the work of others, but that is the price he has to pay. If he's willing to pay it, carry on!
