I'm certainly not a fan of Gladwell but it was never because he was wrong, but because his arguments are more of a string of cherry-picked anecdotes than rigorous studies backed by evidence and sound statistics. Granted, the former makes for a smoother read, but it deceives (intentionally or not) a lot of the public because it sounds so darn smart!
