Competence is as competence does?

Hoping to finish reading Hawking & Mlodinow's The Grand Design tonight. The first half is mostly just a fluffy primer of the history of science and a lot of bad jokes. Interesting to see a few 'retractations' from A Brief History of Time, but worse to see some philosophical howlers in drag (as has been covered by many able writers elsewhere). How I would have loved to see Fr Jaki's review of it.
