jrtomModelling Opinion Formation with Physics Tools: Call for Closer Link with Reality
In essence, the author is calling out physicists for building models for the social sciences without actually knowing anything about the social sciences. An occasionally entertaining read, and one that has a larger message about people who build models and the need for sanity checks with the phenomena that they're intended to model.
EDIT: fixed the link so that the anchor text and URL are each now in their proper place. :P :)
