It's an extremely interesting claim. Without in the least seconding the snide tone -- the characteristically snide tone, I'm sorry to say -- of the response above, I would like to hear more about Carrol's reasoning on the subject. It certainly goes against the grain of conventional wisdom, but that fact is, if anything, a point in Carrol's favor.
