A battery of studies also showed that Jews were diseased and stupid and therefore should have strict immigration caps imposed in the late 19th century. Social scientific studies are often insidious, because all they typically do (numbers-wise) is confirm the psychological biases of the day, while also masquerading as actual, causative science. They therefore mislead the public into thinking the world is the way it is for some reason of physics or biology, and not because of historical contingency, which obviously could be altered with some effort. The only thing that makes me reluctant for the day when all these tired old hacks like Mr. Frum die is that by then I'll be the old, intransigent, out of touch windbag.
