That's how it can be done when you need to acknowledge the work of someone you disagree with but you have no energy left to try to refute it.

I have yet to find a mention of my work in any form. In his 2005 paper on the subject, Nelson cites my paper in a footnote in such a manner that no one could guess how strong the case for Alabama presented there might be. He does not address the Alabama evidence in either publication.
