It's interesting that she decided to leave out the fact that Taleb's comment on citations was him firing back after she called anti-fragile et. all "pop risk books": https://medium.com/incerto/something-is-broken-in-the-uk-int...
Most academics who also write popular works aren't prickly about describing their popular works as such; I don't think Hawking would get upset at someone describing A Brief History of Time as pop cosmology.
If people want to get anything productive at all out of these constant Twitter flareups they need to allow for de-escalation.
"I think Prof Taleb did get annoyed when I said that I had read his ‘pop risk’ book, not the others. But I was actually trying to make clear that I had some knowledge of his work, though not a lot."
Geneticists disagree.
