What's a "sokal"? It is the job of experts to be experts...even, or particularly when, they're wrong. What must continue is the belief that the people who run things know what they're doing (even when they don't) and that we must continue to follow. On the other hand, things might be getting interesting. I should start watching some T.V. Joanna
