As you said in your tweet, she was originally supposed to be arguing with Krugman's observation that there hasn't been any major advances in kitchen tech since the '50s. A multitude of other people point out that her examples are just plain wrong because her examples are mostly items that existed prior to the '50s. Her rebuttal, "Yeah, but most kitchens didn't have them," is completely missing the point. If something was invented in 1908, then whatever technological advance it represents was made in 1908, regardless of whether or not McArdle's mom had one in her kitchen in 1953.

It's a perfect demonstration of why conservatives aren't in academia--it deliberately ignores facts, is full of self-pity because conservatives can't discuss their prejudices openly, and uses emotional manipulation instead of reason.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-37904208699662914042011-02-11T10:46:10.552-06:002011-02-11T10:46:10.552-06:00Susan, a kidney stone is one of the worst pains a ...Susan, a kidney stone is one of the worst pains a human can endure.
