How Credentialed Professionals Shape Policy When Method Governance Is Stripped

May 6, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Side-by-side contrast: Horvath's Senate "remove technology" quote vs. his podcast "edtech actually works" statement six days earlier.

When the same cognitive neuroscientist gave the Senate one position and a podcast six days earlier the opposite, the cognitive research base supports neither. The viral oral testimony has more than two million views. Missouri HB 2230 passed the House 143-10 with witnesses citing it by name. KOSMA at the federal level is being built on this evidentiary record. This 39-page case study sets four artifacts side by side and documents how strategic ambiguity in credentialed testimony reaches policy without ever being reconciled.
