[Movie] Stephen Bax's TED-ED video

[Emma May Smith]

It's a little bold for him to add his own research in when it's hardly taken seriously by most other researchers.

My mummy always told me that it is rude to criticise people behind their back when you can do so to their face :-) 

In any case, when making the TED ED video I added in my own angle on the manuscript (very obliquely) because that is what the TED ED people wanted me to do!

Okay: it's a little bold to add in your own research when it's hardly taken seriously by most other researchers. Is that better? I mean, I said it on a public forum, so I'm hardly talking behind your back. Indeed, I would guess it's far kinder than coming to your website to post such thoughts.

The truth is, I'm a linguistic researcher, like you, yet I've read your work and am not interested in building upon it. There are too many assumptions and nothing really solid. I could go into the problems at length but at this stage it would be rather pointless. I don't see anybody referencing it any more so who would I be arguing against?
