Nick Cohen is arguing, in essence, that mathematicians won\’t publish papers rubbishing the bank\’s risk models for fear of libel.
Hmmm.
How about this from Wired?
That has, by your reading it in your browser in the UK (no, really, this counts as publication) been published in the UK.
Has Wired been sued for it?
No.
Not sure I buy Nick\’s argument then…..
Mind you I think he has a point about “liberals” (his term, not mine) seeking to win in the courts what they couldn’t win at the ballot box.
