Lindeman, take 2

The second part of the interview with Dr. Mark Lindeman is up on Neural Gourmet: Of public opinion, exit polls and fraud (or the lack thereof) (Part 2):

Some people have referred to the "uncanny accuracy" of the exit polls. I think it's a very bad sign when the adjective "uncanny" drifts into nominally scientific discourse. That doesn't mean that we scrap the data; it means that we try to interpret it judiciously. It's a pretty banal point, but some folks can't seem to get past it.

Hi coturnix,

I just thought your readers would be interested in the third, and final, part of the interview with Mark. Link to Part 1.

Thanks for promoting this. I think most people will come away from this series a little more knowledgeable than they went in.
