He does not get to make that call. No one gets to make that call. All questions may and should be asked, always.

I never heard of Harris before this debate and my thoughts on Ezra Klein are mostly limited to musing how such a dude ended up with the delightful Annie Lowrey (who writes circles around him). She is, indeed, Better than Ezra.
But I agree with you, Sebby! No, really. Why shouldn’t we discuss all of the scientific data that leading European scientists collected regarding groups of people during the 1940s? I mean, sure, we might disagree with their views or the reasons why (and how) they collected that data, but who are we to say “you shouldn’t do that”? Argue their points by refuting their data, I say.
