>My main disagreement with people generally, and on SI in particular, is the tendency that they often have to seize onto simple explanations for very complex phenomena. This works in basic physics, say, but not at all well in complex systems, like most of biology right up to human behaviour.>

Why do you complicate human behaviour? Human behaviour works pretty similar to animal behaviour. Men know how to tame other animals for a long time. They even teach them tricks. Humans also know how to tame other humans. That is how organizations can run (families, churches, cities, countries, corporations, government). There is a conscious and unconscious manipulation by the people in power. Slagle and Elmat are just trying to point out some cases where they have noticed such manipulation. Maybe after they have seen one, they see other manipulations when they don't really exist. Maybe they cry wolf (or wayo) too often.
