Ben here -- you may be amused to know that Alan Sokal was my dad's freshman roommate in undergrad!

Ben, as in Benjamin Spector? (As noted below by sciurus.)

Please accept my sheepish apology for taking an unwarranted potshot at your writing style.

OTOH, if I hadn't, none of us would have known about that remarkable connection!

[Stratoscope]

Awesome! We truly have Transgressed the Boundaries.

(And I'm curious... The way you said "Ben here" makes me wonder if I know you?)

(I think we was just introducing himself as Ben Spector, the lead author of the paper.)

D'oh! Thank you, and now I owe Ben an apology.
