Had not heard of Sherman before, but the two of you are a fascinating juxtaposition. He has a nice voice and is well spoken, has a poetic flair. But you're some kind of a generational talent at clarity in conversing, truly remarkable. Had you rehearsed all those specific objections?
Whole thing was kinda saddening though - hearing an obviously smart guy like Sherman apparently only now realizing that the NYT is a force for obfuscation in the world -- this being fresh enough to him for him to be audibly ANGRY about it -- made me feel old and tired.

Haha thanks. I didn't rehearse this but it was many of the same points I often make when reacting to various non-doomers.
