Interesting side note: Stephen J. Dubner, one of the co-authors of the book, took time to make a Wikipedia correction that had listed him as an economist. He takes a dim view of the online resource.
Oops, my bad. I just checked my links (and his) and he didn't take time to make the correction. Or maybe he has, but not in a way that a speedy deletion has percolated through the software.
Wonder why Wikipedia, which I consider to be a fantastic online resource and amazing work in progress, will probably never be the last authoritative word on anything?
