Well, you know, this is yet another example of the fact that Anderson is unable to take off the academic blinders. It is unfortunate because he is a smart man and a hard working man. But he has never stepped out of academia and does not even seem to understand why it might be a good idea.

Heck, he’s hardly stepped out of his patrician class. As someone who knows him well once said to me, Perry’s afraid of the working class - they might scuff his floors.
