In a book review on Slashdot today, the reviewer characterized the book's author as "highly skeptical of many string theorists' reliance on the Anthropomorphic Principle". Well. While I consider it fundamentally correct to be skeptical of anything related to string theory, I think this was an unfair outing of the poor theorists. Does their anthropic principle know that they're seeing another principle behind its back?
I don't mean to excoriate the reviewer, whose review is fairly cogent. But those Slashdot editors need to be taken out behind the chemical shed.
