I'll remember that next time a TREACLES tires to explain how something that totally discredits rationalists has nothing to do with EA.

Ok, I've spent way too much time on this, but read the "Sharing Information on Ben Pace" section. As some of the comments point out, it could be written about Kat's own reaction to the earlier article.
