This is of course because he is a noteworthy academic himself, and not just because those are the most high profile, but "soft" rhetorical targets. Right, right???
doesn't matter, he is already a senior researcher thus that kind of makes him an "academic". I don't think it is about who is an academic or who is not, obviously Krauss is one and Hamza is not, and still Krauss accepted a debate which of course was a silly move of his but anyways, whatever, TR won't be debating Hamza any time soon, I don't think he will ever debate Hamza, I don't know what would it take him to debate TR, don't know, don't know!!
