Bill- I was hoping that the two psychology profs might be non-experimental types. At least then those of us with more scientifically based backgrounds could feel smug. (I'm joking! The whole thing is truly sad! And crappy thinking has no home!). Anyway, one of them teaches, gulp, hypothesis testing and causal reasoning in addition to distributed cognition and judgement and decision making (according to the staff web-site).
