"Should we be bigoted and say "What can you expect of an economist commenting on an area he doesn't work in?" Nah- let's just be honest- and say Summers, who is no scientist ..." LOL. Yes, let's not be bigoted - let's be "honest". If you were honest about it, you'd admit just how bigoted is your dismissal of his qualifications. Just like the bigotry plainly displayed in the bolded quote you offered up: "Here was this economist lecturing pompously (to) this room full of the country's most accomplished scholars on women's issues in science and engineering ..." You and Dean Denton apparently don't know much about the field of economics.
