They hint at it:

> 5. Race

> This theory is extremely contested, and I haven’t independently assessed it, so I won’t go into any detail, but for sake of completeness we must add the hypothesis that race also has influence in economic development. I might eventually make an independent assessment of the claim.

If you haven't "independently assessed" it and have zero details to add, please leave it out until you do!

Sounds like a "no I did not forget this" marker.

Why? There's no reason to inject hostility like this. It's not as if the author said, "I suspect brown people are stupid, but I won't make any formal claims until I perform an assessment."

  Yeah, I'm open to the idea that women are made for the kitchen and are too stupid to participate in public life. You should keep an open mind!
You see the problem here?
