Apologies for not replying to your comment last November (!!). It's been a while since I checked my profile. Hofstader may rightly attack neurological reductionism but he continues to be reductive in the classical sense - if I recall correctly; it's a long time since I read the book and have - blissfully - forgotten most of it!

Enjoyed your review of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, which I'm currently reading. It summed up my feelings about the book exactly.
