(17,502 posts)including his department is one reason. I find Kleck's more credible partly because of that. While Harvard is a good school, any place that gives "gentleman's Cs" to legacy students and accepts legacy students regardless of merit, including ones that couldn't get in a state school like FSU or University of Texas (GW Bush) is kind of over rated. Not that Hemenway is one of these, but still. It is kind of like saying being a Rhode Scholar adds to their credibility, but ignoring that the list also includes David Vitter and Bobby Jindal.

Of course, didn't Hemenway also use phones?
Is it more credible because you like it better? Would it still be as credible if you were agnostic on the issue?
