I haven't signed this petition because I have not seen Wolf's presentation, and I am not in a position to watch it. The example presented in the article is quite clearly a distortion, unfair to Ms Wolf, but without having seen the whole presentation, I don't want to assert that the criticism is nothing but distortion (although that could well be the case).
