NY Times decided to run this piece on the ‘Sherlock’ of the Kyle Huff murder investigation in Sunday’s edition but, wow, what a disappointing article. You can sense a hacked down version of what was probably a longer, lamer article.

We are usually suckers for whatever the NYT wants to make the story — but this Dr. Fox fella blows it so bad that not even the Times can makes a cool theme stick. You can’t take a scientific approach to understanding crime and then base your argument on some note found in a dumpster. That’s cheating! The NYT gives it a rip making some kind of claim about the value of involving academics in the worries of the world but the sad little article just limps to its end.

The whole thing gives us very little hope we’ll learn anything when Sherlock’s report is released next week.
