It is a bloody brilliant story, though. I especially loved the modesty (appropriate to a good scientist) with which Sokal pointed out that he had only proven one journal was lazy enough to allow this sort of thing ....

Naftulin et al. 'invented' a lecturer, Dr. Myron L. Fox, hired an actor to play him, trained the actor to deliver a plausible but purely nonsensical lecture on Game Theory in Physician Education, and had Dr Fox lecture to medical educators. The findings were students can form a positive view of a sufficiently impressive lecturer, and his lecture, in spite of the fact that they did not understand what was said. See "The Doctor Fox Lecture: A Paradigm of Educational Seduction," published in 1973 in the Journal of Medical Education. The Université du Québec à Montréal has the paper on a website: http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/r30034/PSY4180/Pages/Naftulin.html.
