Certainly - but it's pretty funny to claim that Chomsky's political science is
good on the grounds that he's clearly an expert, since his linguistic work is
good, and then turn around and use different rules for everyone else.

I believe the original flaw was the decision to believe anything said by
people who have a certain belief system.  Kulisz will believe anything he
is told by an "important" leftist.  Period.  No matter what.  He has asserted
that it is stupid, immoral, and a waste of time to double-check their results.
