Think of it more as short-selling Steven Pinker's work in the marketplace of ideas.

edit: I like this analogy the more I think about it. If I tell my friends I strongly disagree with Steven Pinker today and his "valuation" continues to fall, I can gain social credit. There is a risk involved in this, however, because sometime in the future science may gather strong confirmatory evidence that Steven Pinker was right all along, and I'll have to trade in an even greater amount of social capital (e.g. because I'm forced to admit I was wrong or go all defensive kook).

Sorry, following the increasingly bizarre news with cryptocurrency and GME is something I've been doing too much of lately.
