Several pages on the Edenics site mention negative reviews by Noam Chomsky. Can anyone provide references for any of this exchange that was published? My google-fu appears to be weak.

Are you the Chomper or one of his academic altar boys?
If yes, you already know about the Amazon and other reviews of The Word, and the phone threat to the editor of the newspaper chain in the Midwest to drop my word column.
If not. Forget it. A lot nastier stuff goes on when professors battle for tenure. But Chompsky's opposition is ironic for 2 reasons. 1) he proved that language is hard-wired in the brain. Edenics does this with global vocabulary. We should have been great allies. #2 Noam's dad, William, was a prominent Hebrew scholar.
I'm only 57. The Edenics video game gets produced this summer, and the Edenics Dictionary well after that. All these critics will be emeritus or dead by the time Edenics is widely debated and ultimately accepted.
The truth will out. Etymology (Greek etymos is truth) will become EMeTology, Isaac
