Mayr bashing

[Bill Shear]

I'm reminded of Huxley's comment to Darwin, who was under attack from
Samuel Butler:  "Every whale has its louse."

Mayr's contributions to evolutionary biology and to the history of biology
need no defense.  They will remain standard works when Croizat is a mere
footnote.

Does that qualify as a flame, or just a smoldering ember?
