This letter is so well written, and so absolutely correct. I'm disappointed in both Princeton as well as the PAW for letting this misinformation be spread by people who should know better, and for not checking it. We have so many examples today of facts being devalued or dismissed in the effort to further one's argument; I'm so glad that Dr. Levy pointed out some of the facts that counter the assertions and questions that were made during the panel (and presented in the article). I hope we can all agree that we all need to start from a base of factual information when we're going to debate such important issues, and I hope that PAW can do its part in taking a stand against misinformation.
