JV: So I must assume that the behaviorist elite needed perform all
those
experiments to find out, just because they are too stupid to predict
the
obvious right away.

GS: If the outcomes are obvious, you should be able to tell me what
they are.

JV: Maybe that's why their status has declined ever since.

GS: No, the scant attention paid by many to behaviorism is very much

experiments and their conclusions.

GS: What are the outcomes, and how would you predict them?
