Those people whose job it is to absorb ideas from other people and summarize them for others. People who write for the New York Reviw of Books or are op-ed columnists at the New York Times.
I find them, by and large, not good at discovering that books like *Illiberal Education* are full of lies and bad thinking. If it's written in a book, and that book has a familiar style (citations, numbers, etc.), they're inclined to trust it instead of doing the digging to see if what the book says is *true*.
This wiki is necessary because of their failure.
The name is not complimentary, but note that I myself am one of them.
