... Salmon has been very
high on my list of blogs to read.
Why? Because hewrites very well.
Because he reads an immense
amount. Because he is pragmatic
and empirical: ‘This proves my
ideology is right!’ is not a message
he wants to send anyone. And
because he reads different
things from what I do and thinks
differently enough from me, I
learn a huge amount ...
