I've stayed out of the controversy regarding Mr Lipinski, his comments,
questions, & his beloved Bell Curve, up until now. But I must comment
on this one.

Mr Lipinski:

If you, in fact, have managed to dissect a ferret's ear, & are so
intimately familiar w/ the structure, measurements, & ability to see
down a ferret's ear canal, I assume you must be a veterinarian. I'm not
sure under what other circumstances one would have such an opportunity
to gather such knowledge. In my experience, most high school, college,
& university biology & anatomy classes do not use ferrets as specimens.
And, as one who has interned as a research assistant in the animal
research section in a university psychology department, I certainly
never worked w/ ferrets during the course of my education.

If you *are* a vet, you know very well how to tell if a ferret is
deaf.....which would make your questions condescending & facetious.

If you are *not* a vet, why aren't you? You seem to have all the
answers, after all.....which would make your questions irrelevant &
tedious.

Does it have something to do w/ that Bell Curve?

As someone who has owned several deaf ferrets (& who currently owns 2),
I'm just curious.....
