Because of its subject, your post in particular will obviously focus on those who care about the debate. It's not about the practice of learning from data, it's about the history of views on how to learn from data.

The criticism that it ignores those who utilize and do not theorize is wrong headed. The only thing that prevents it from being an outright bizarre accusation is that LW has repeatedly ignored the mere utilizers who are outside the academic debate when they should have been discussed and addressed.

But the content in my post isn't by Less Wrong, it's by McGrayne.

I strongly, strongly disagree. Even presenting unaltered material in a context not planned by the original author is a form of authorship. You have gone far, far beyond that by paraphrasing. You have presented an idea to a particular audience with media, you are an author, you are responsible.

If my friend asks to borrow a book to read, and I say "Which book" and he or she says "Whichever" I affect what is read and create the context in which it is read.
