I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this article was about twice as long as it needed to be.
I will throw out there that, despite all of the flaws and issues with Psychology as a field of science, it does seem like everyone involved, mostly, did the right thing here. I did skim it, but I didn't really see anyone do anything other than have sour grapes over how it went down, so I feel like this article and situation generally is a good example of a flawed system working out; deferring to truth over ego and orthodoxy.
Some groups would have circled the wagons to protect against this outsider, but that's not what ultimately happened here. Good!
