So wait... how do we decide?

In discussing my review of Lehrer's book with my brother, it occurred to us that my previous post was decidedly lacking: in my desire to not "give anything away", I left curious readers stranded with nothing but a link to the Amazon website. While I'm confident that readers of this blog (and I trust there are at least a few) are capable of doing the research necessary to ascertain Lehrer's core arguments, I suppose it would be a good idea to help guide you to them. If you're not looking to actually read the whole book, you can skip ahead to the end of chapter 8 where the author provides a brief summary recapping his main points (Look for large headings, you won't miss it). Additionally, you can watch the following video clips:

Or, if you prefer a more in-depth explanation without the comical interruptions...





Now you can see why I said "this kid's got promise" in my earlier post; it was not to condescend, but rather to note how accomplished he is for someone of such a young age. I'm pretty sure if I worked at a movie theater I'd decide to card him.
