That's what the last respondent under the "cultural research" section said and I too want to know why the only sane respondent was listed last.

Being listed last isn't bad.

It has been found that humans mostly remember that which was said first and last in a long presentation.

As for why it was listed last, I can think of a few reasons, the most logical is that you normally write an article in this sort of order:

Title

Summary

Description

Critics

Conclusion

And it is a fair way of doing it, first presenting the subject and and then critiquing it.
