Books of banalities by Malcolm Gladwell

I have suspected this for some time but I did not bother to check of Malcolm Gladwell was a scientist (although it seemed unlikely) - but someone decided to "call him on it".    I am glad.
Book Review: 'David and Goliath' by Malcolm Gladwell
Malcolm Gladwell too often presents as proven laws what are just intriguing possibilities and musings about human behavior.
I also think comparison with a "true" behavioural scientist Dr. Stephen Pinker is fair - even if I am a bit proud of both of them as Canadians.
