Tipping Point, my arse

The “broken windows” theory of crime is correct | Can the can | The Economist:

My general disillusionment with Malcolm "garfunkel" Gladwell continues. Science proves people behave better if they have nice things. But we can't have nice things, can we?

Have you even read the Tipping Point? Gladwell cites the broken windows theory as a case study that supports his notions. Thus any vindication of this theory serves to strengthen Gladwell's position.

I live in hope that one day you'll pronounce something triumphantly while in actual full posession of the facts.
