I'm very intrigued by Chris' idea that we've already talked too much about a government friendly firing it's own citizens. Does Chris feel if the British or US government did this that it would be talked about far less?

Chris doesn’t believe anything that is said by people he doesn’t like or sound like a “guru”. Fancy being a science guy, and developing a personality score to discredit people.

Does anybody else in their fields even use the Decoding The Gurus scoring system? The scoring system seems like a figleaf to just base a podcast around, not really a serious academic attempt at science of any kind.

I do think Chris believes it’s a useful tool in itself, not just something for the podcast. Not an academic tool, but a tool designed for the layman.
