Obviously I did read the article. And I know how the hn site works.

I have a passing familiarity with the debate over Chomsky's theories of universal grammar etc. I didn't notice anything in the article that would cause disgust, and so I wondered what I was failing to understand.



If you have read many books by Chomsky, it might make you angry that you have wasted so much time on what turned out to be a fundamentally mistaken theory.


The people who downvoted this apparently didn't read the article.


Isn't "theory turned out to be wrong" just the price of doing science? And its a good thing: something has been learned.
