even breakthrough inisghts, but the discussion has gotten fairly
far afield. The "outsider" bit started off with discussion of
Phillip Johnson. This is a specific case that can be examined.
What, if anything, can be attributed to Johnson as a contribution
to biology? I don't recall seeing any critiques that were novel
to Johnson. I certainly don't recall anything that could be
considered a breakthrough that originated with Johnson. But maybe
I've overlooked something.
