    Yeah, it's a really odd thing to harp about. Guy's a psychologist, though, and was doing most of his notable work in the 70s and 80s which was closer to the neolithic than it is to modernity. I think this is mostly just "old man yells at clouds" because he's mad that neuroscience lapped psychology a long time ago and can actually produce results.
