This is so wonderfully weasel worded. It seems to say that it isn't OK to have a reviewer who is prejudiced against a paper but you can have one who is prejudiced in favour, just as long as it isn't motivated by self-interest.TTFN,WK

Given that there are strong suspicions that this is exactly how Sternberg chose the reviewers - and the Worldnet Daily article uses phrasing that tends to support those suspicions - I'd say that that wasn't an accident.

Of course whether what Sternberg took away was actually what was said during his ethics course is another question entirely.TTFN,WK
