My take was that Zvi was not trying to provide evidence in support of Hanson’s theory, but was instead saying roughly: “Hanson’s theory does explain the observed data, but there are other/simpler hypotheses that also explain the data.”
Thanks for the note. I disambiguated my pronoun to make it clear that I was replying to the OB post, and not Zvi’s thought stream.
