This misreporting will help perpetuate the negative myths that surround the air crib. A few years ago, Shelly Bailey and I tracked down 50 former air-crib children or their parents, and, as we reported in a 1995 article, all of the evaluations were wholly positive. Alas, both the air crib and its inventor have been largely misunderstood. As a card-carrying radical behaviorist who is offended by polemic distortions of Skinner's work, I am especially chagrined by errors in this particular entry. The inaccuracies came from quick drafted comments I sent to the Monitor about the baby tender.
Readers can judge for themselves the gravity of each inaccuracy.
