    I could not find a name for the person who authored this article. I suppose the person did not put their name to it since it says nothing.

    This explains the vaccine->autism link, no amount of statistical studies will overcome a good story.

    It also has a lot to do with my taste in movies.

    Thanks! That was an outstanding essay. It is significant that it took about 4000 years for writing to develop from lists and tallies to narratives. Once that happened, though, we could examine them in a way that oral traditions did not allow. Dance, theater, and painting also tell stories. Dance and theater now can be recorded, again, taking them out of the sphere of momentary expression and giving them permanence, and allowing analysis.
