There are varieties of error other than projection. Anyway: If you acknowledge that Gleb’s purpose was to publish an article about bias and rationality and psychology that would get Salon’s readers to think about those things and learn a little (I can’t tell: do you?) then I am not sure what point you’re intending to make here and why you think it needs making.
Gleb wants to publish an article about bias and rationality. Salon’s readers like to read an article trashing Trump and Salon is happy to produce such an article for them.
Yeah, sure, very possible. So Gleb has got an article into Salon that uses mindkill-y topics as a hook to get readers thinking and learning about bias and rationality. Which, er, is what he said at the outset was the idea.
But it sounds—maybe I’m misreading your tone? -- as if you consider that there’s a problem here. What is it?
