Hi Stephen Scott. Thank you for our second comment.

As a policy of ILLUMINATION, we don’t change writer’s content as long as they align with Medium policies and pose no legal implications. Opinions belong to content creators and we respect them. Please feel free to leave your comments on the writer’s article. This is an open platform with diverse views. We don’t censor writers instead we encourage freedom of thoughts.

In terms of your comment on academic attributions, I characterize myself more inline with the traits of Lady Gaga rather than a critical academic.
