Gary Marcus says the tech-bro fanboys focus on the roughly 20 tweets he has gotten wrong across more than a dozen years, even though he has posted thousands of tweets over that span.
He argues that cherry-picking those mistakes, and stripping them out of context, is bad science and a weak argument. The post is essentially a defense of his track record and a complaint about how his critics frame the evidence against him.
