Very few social and scientific studies offer room for the average individual to make links and draw conclusions outside the context of academic study.
For a random individual to not only draw conclusions these studies were not designed to support, that even their authors don't, outside of context of academic inquiry, and seek to apply it in the real world is an inexcusable transgression.
That some should fail to register this abuse of science and fail to notice the transgression is surprising.
What if someone circulates a memo citing studies saying introverts are not suitable for social collaboration roles, or aggression in males makes them unsuitable for collaboration roles and we should look for more 'suitable roles for males'.
Studies definitively show aggression is predominant in males but no one seeks to connect it to a real world workplace and that too without the credentials or expertise to. Is this science?
Seeking to apply social and genetic studies that are rarely as certain as the experimental sciences 1=1 to draw conclusions in the real world has traditionally been the refuge of supremacists and eugenicists.
That any well adjusted individual would seek to join this group in a workplace memo is an indiscretion too far. Individuals can't simply be reduced to genetics.
