Just going back to the Finkelstein episode, I have often wondered why Kamm decided to try that bullshit on, especially with someone like Norman.
I mean, from the reply he gets, it's pretty obvious he did absolutely no research about the topic or people he mentions, or had any recognition at all about the utter absurdity of his accusations, so easily dealt with by Finkelstein.
This takes place in the internet age too with numerous sources at one's disposal, so there really is no excuse for such as shoddy attempt at a "gotcha".
What possessed him? A deluded regard for his own intellectual prowess?
There are so many ways he could have done a bit of work and at least have tried to advance a more legitimate proposition.
Instead, he goes with this utter, embarrassing rubbish.

"Selling your mind for the use of immoral others must destroy your ability to think independently. Maybe that's why he suffers from mental illness & severe depression?"

Ken, you might just have hit the nail on the head with that when it comes to Kamm.
