@PallasRiot people who are not evolutionary biologists mostly don't realize that Dawkins was a crappy scientist whose personal vendettas actually interfered with important research in exactly the ways Thomas Kuhn talks about in Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
I like to mention that when he does stupid shit. He gets a lot of undeserved "good scientist" credit because he was a good science *popularizer*. But a good writer is all he really was.
