cannot one of you experts do a sokal on these people?

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.

Why Sokal them when what needs to be done is hacking the PA system - aka 'the media' -
