9. Id at 1621. RJK pose various empirical "challenges" to us, see id at 1622-23, but those have no connection to the only empirical point we are making: there is significant cultural variation, and resulting political conflict, over what count as instances of offense types included in the RJK core. We stand by the evidence in our article on that. See Donald Braman, Dan M. Kahan, and David A. Hoffman, Some Realism about Punishment Naturalism, 77 U Chi L Rev 1531, 1566-92 (2010).

In a paper coauthored with Avani Mehta Sood, Darley, too, has recently examined the role that motivated reasoning plays in generating disagreements about harm among persons with different values.

Darley, The Plasticity of Harm: An Experimental Demonstration of the Malleability of Judgments in the Service of Criminalization *15-19 (unpublished manuscript, July 2010) online at http://ssrn.com/abstract =1641022 (visited Oct 24, 2010).
