Not to what you claimed. Put the bit where it talks about people making up educational, government, and corporate policy based on this bullshit in bold instead. Infiltrates your decision making process and actually involved in actual decisions are two different things. I don’t think Gladwell would bother to point out the distinction but we should.
This is what we’re accusing Gladwell of doing: taking a source and running with it for dramatic effect. We’ve gone from people pay attention to Gladwell to so it’s not a stretch to assume the government use his stuff for making policy. It’s a massive stretch with no evidence supporting it.
