    But I usually have Gladwell thrown in my face by people whose opinions I don't like and whose arguments are unsound.

He's like a long form TED talk, from what I gather. I've also never read any. I won't, because I find that most of the time when Outliers is thrown in my face, it typically comes from people who I find insufferable, mostly psuedointellectual types who think that reading pop-sci is "research". Maybe that's a bad reason to dismiss the guy, but I'm not perfect.
