Seeing Through It

Thomas Spencer isn't sold on the supposed vindication of John Lott. I'd have to agree.

According to Lott, the guy who said he was surveyed claims he "remembers something about Chicago and possibly the student saying that he was from the University of Northwestern." Yes, that's right: "the University of Northwestern." If that doesn't sound like a smart guy playing dumb, I don't know what does. Everything revealed so far as to what guy knew about the survey was already out of the 'net. And the guy recalls details from one short phone call from 1997, but Lott can remember anyone who worked on the survey? I guess we have to wait to see what the guy told Lindgren, but nothing so far vindicates Lott.
