Abstract In 2001, long ago by modern standards, Matzinger changed the emphasis of her Danger theory from one that downplayed the self‐non‐self discrimination to one that concerned itself with the regulation of effector class. This gave her theory a measure of validity that the other non‐self‐marker theorists have yet to confront. However, precision and clarity are still lacking.
