Science and Inquiry discussion

Shawn Otto's website advertises the fact that he likes to interact with book clubs. If you are one of the group that is currently reading Fool Me Twice: Fighting the Assault on Science in America, this month's club selection, and you have a question you'd like to ask the author, enter it in this thread and if we get a sufficient number to make it worthwhile for both parties we'll submit them to him and then post his responses.
