| Summary/Abstract |
The effort to bridge the gap between policymakers and scholars is worthwhile and should continue. But advocates of bridging the gap should recognize that it is likely to have only marginal influence on policy. And they should be mindful of the fact that the entire endeavor, if taken too far, could be detrimental to particular scholars and researchers if it induces them to self-censorship or steers them into intellectual cul-de-sacs.
