Forgive the sheepish look, but, ooooopsss... I got very badly taken in with my post "Death by Skepticism". So the Nature article that got me all in worked-up was published in the Futures section, which is, erm, science fiction. So, yes, the whole Hillcrest vs. Velikovsky case never happened. Cue much embarrassment. Thanks to PZ for correcting my silliness.Oh, and this nicely illustrates the importance of skepticism! In my rush to defend skepticism, I forgot the be skeptical myself. Not everything published in Nature should be taken literally...
