Argh. There were enough writing errors in the Spirit of our Time article ('What does this tell us about how “profound cognitive disability”?' as a complete sentence, for example), that I'm confused as to what exactly it's trying to claim about the original article. I'd be interested to see more information, presented by someone who knows how to write. This looks horrific, but I can't really tell any specifics due to the incoherence of the review (which, as a point, being incoherent when making arguments like this really doesn't help one's cause - people should be more careful, since this is a really serious issue).
