To that end, while I might disagree personally with a particular piece of work, if it abided by existing standards in the community then it should go forward.<br /><br />Where I disagree with the community the place to try to change things is in public, through published research and argument, not by silently throttling other points of view. (Though an editor might make such decisions, I don't think the reviewer should.)Marekhttp://www.doingyourmind.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-88035955369631333332014-04-10T17:55:30.119+01:002014-04-10T17:55:30.119+01:00Yes, I've seen Frank's stuff.

This commentary is really just saying that if you're going to hang your hat on a theory, you should probably know whether that theory has a hat hook :)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732977871048876430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-40824152104485623292014-04-10T15:59:35.484+01:002014-04-10T15:59:35.484+01:00Just to add one wrinkle: Frank Durgin has some evi...Just to add one wrinkle: Frank Durgin has <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3445748/" rel="nofollow">some evidence</a> that the backpack effect might actually be a demand effect.Rolf Zwaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617143491249303266noreply@blogger.com
