Christopher Chabris on why it matters that Malcolm Gladwell's work is 'truthy,' at best

I guess I’m too dumb to see your point. My point is people with influence … um, have influence. Complaining about Malcolm Gladwell spreading lies is similar to complaining about Fox News spreading lies. If I understand your argument neither of them matters because we have no proof anyone is influenced by either Malcolm Gladwell’s millions of books sold nor Fox News broadcasts seen by millions of people. Ok, if you say so. I happen to think it’s self evident Malcolm Gladwell has influence based solely on his popularity.
