The author discusses Christopher Simpson's (1996) article, “Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann's ‘Spiral of Silence’ and the Historical Context of Communication Theory.” He questions the relevance of biographical data for the evaluation of scientific theories and methods, and analyzes the rhetorical structure of Simpson's arguments. He concludes that Simpson's claims about the influence of Noelle's biography on her scholarly work are not grounded in evidence
