{{epigraph|Hales is not a scholar. He's an anesthesiologist who hired Don Bradley to do his research for him. He then wrote 3 books using his employee's homework. Author? Sure. Apologist? Yes. Amateur? Yes. Scholar? No. He's an apologist disguising himself as a scholar. The real scholars in the field of polygamy have issues with many of Hales' conclusions and interpretations. Anyone with big bucks and writing skills can do what Brian did. All you have to do is hire guys like Don Bradley to do all the work for you and then you throw the stuff in a nice hardcover book with your name on it.<br><br>—Jeremy Runnells, author of the "Letter to a CES Director", posted on "Who's the Real Amateur?," ''Ploni Almoni: Mr. So-and-So's Mormon Blog'' (16 July 2014) {{link|url=http://plonialmonimormon.blogspot.com/2014/07/whos-real-amateur.html?showComment=1405574479120&m=1#c5424350164408001157}} | {{epigraph|Hales is not a scholar.
