I agree. Does Watson deserve our attention just because he is a Nobel
laureate? Wisdom does not always come with intellectual ability, and
neither, always, does academic rigour. I would give no more time to
James Watson's cantankerous utterances on social issues than I would
to BNP press releases issued in the name of Nick Griffin.
