And by the way, your own comment is an intemperate denunciation. I hope that a little sober reflection would lead you to conclude that maybe modern academic philosophers do have a professional interest in truth after all, and that even if they are collectively doing it badly, your particular diagnosis is factually wrong.

I totally agree. I think Daniel will sit down and realize 'remarkably little' would have been more accurate 'nothing whatever' and also marginalize most potential backlash.
