Yup, I've read them, and don't find him all that arrogant or condescending.

All of these address cognitive bias with respect to egotism (what I perceive to be the root of bias) and some of them even illustrate how these biases work there way into the global scientific community. In "The Truth Wears Off" one researcher refuted his own experimental results with an a...
