Open accessAbstract
period.Knowles is a marvellous enthusiast.His charisma can bring joy and understanding and a sense of purpose to people's lives.But when he tackles things intellectual and philosophical, he becomes as dangerous to adult education as the TV preachers are to Christianity.To the extent that he can convince people to adopt his over-simplifications, his gimmicks, and his uncritical recommendations for "improving" adult education, to that extent will he have negated all his committed work as a practitioner and tarnished the warm, humane image he seeks to portray for himself in his autobiography.Instead of accepting his vision of himself as the kinder, gentler Unitarian, it will have to be said: And there went Knowles Being warm but promoting chill, Another moonbeam Cast from Beacon Hill.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
