Do believe that's evidence that Fisher changed his mind on eugenics? Why do you bring that up?

    It's evidence that people can hold opinions that while perhaps mainstream at the time, in retrospect decide they are not well founded, and reconsider them.

    I have no idea about Fisher specifically. I hadn't really heard of him until this was posted. Eugenics was popular among a lot of academics in the early 20th century however.

      Could be. Maybe it happened!

      The question here is about whether there is any shred of evidence that it did happen.

          Again, if you can provide some kind of comprehensible reasoning why that's actually the case, your insightful comment would be more persuasive.
