Disputing a nonverbal response
Instapundit links a post at The Volokh Conspiracy with the following quote, and his only comment is “HMM“:
There are lots of methodologies and modes of thought that are widely acceptable within at least some circles of academia, but would strike an uninitiated outside observer as nonsensical, academically dishonest, or otherwise discreditable.
Anyone who has ever encountered a professor who still maintains that “real” socialism works, it’s just never been tried (to pick but one of an endless variety of examples), would respond to the above quote not with “HMM” but with “DUH!”

or LOL
