TR Legal's Mike Dahn on WestlawNext, WestSearch, and Haters: Part 2
Part 2 of Jason Wilson's interview with Mike Dahn is now online. Do check out Mike's response to Jason's question:
Lately we’ve seen a very lengthy criticism of WestlawNext by an anonymous author over at LLB. Any response to that?
The answer to the question addresses LLB's two-part series, The WestSearch Straitjacket For Legal Research - Thinking Beyond The Keyword, Part I and Part II. You be the judge. [JH]

In the interview, Mike Dahnn states:
We’re tempted to post a complete dissection of it online, but our sense is that engaging the author would only escalate the nonsense exponentially.
Why not publish the complete dissection? I'd like to see the "nonsense" refuted, if it is "nonsense" as Mr. Dahn alleges.
It obviously touched a nerve with TR, otherwise they wouldn't have dispatched an entire team to "go through the author’s claims, to run searches, test theories, etc."
Look, it isn't like the anonymous author said something like Hilter created WestlawNext or something really dumb. No?
Come on TR, it is your product and you are trying to convince us to buy it.
FYI - I am not the anonymous author and I take no issues as to whether it is "nonsense".
