And, in subsequent paragraphs, also Dan Ariely (he).
Dan Ariely is neither the subject of the article nor a professor at Harvard

I'm aware - in context, however, it appears *dsr was defending the use of 'he' used as a default without reading the article where the subject is clearly a 'she.' Whether another professor at Duke mentioned in the article supervised the study doesn't really matter.
I'm not supposed to imply that you didn't read the article.
