The point about pyschology changing may be valid. Unfortunately, Brooks spends most of the piece not actually discussing that issue but rather other (substantially weaker arguments). For a large portion of the piece I just kept thinking "and that's bad why?" It seems strongly like he has his bottom line already written.
