We've already had the Murray conversation. In the 90s and he lost that conversation. The serious analysis of his work left his arguments as ideological backwaters. They were not deliberate, teen age deceptions on the level that Ferguson now works; but they were either inept uses of statistics or knowing uses looking for the best results, without carefully checking counter arguments.

There is an academic literature which treated Murray's arguments with some respect but, as I said, left them defensible only on ideological grounds.
