I read a Steven Pinker tweet yesterday.
Pinker is interesting because he's praised Thomas Sowell for years. He's cited Sowell's work in his own books, including The Blank Slate. I read Better Angels of Our Nature in my younger years and was impressed. Parts of it are excellent, and are worth wrestling with if you're a serious thinker. (The climate chapter is one of the most unscientific things I've ever read, but that's another article.)
Then, yesterday, he made the exact rhetorical move Sowell named in 2001.
