Expert Researcher Explodes Myths

Isn't the so called "expert", John Lott, the same person who created an alter ego, Mary Rosh, who was supposedly a student of Lott's who went on to lavish praise on Lott's work and even said he was "the best professor I ever had"? Yes, I thought so. To me this suggests that Lott was unable to defend his own work and had to rely on an invented person to do so.
