I kind of like Skinner; always did. He's hated in academics,
   although his data is still used to this day because he was VERY
   rigorous in his testing and very methodical and precise and
   accurate.

   He didn't capture everything of course. But often, if you trace
   back your reactions to current situations with ones in the past,
   you may eventually find a "First Cause" for a particular
   reaction; the first drool as it were (to get Pavlovian). So even
   if he was wrong in the whole, he got a lot of stuff
   embarrassingly correct. Skinner has to be faced, in my opinion,
   not as an opponent, but as a partner.
