Please let's not insult professionals - "researchers" - on this forum without good reason.
You, I, Dunning and Kruger all understand the limitations of experiments with local undergrads and why it's done. I respectfully suggest that D&K might understand that better than you or me, given our skill sets.

- robotresearcher 9y agoNo, and that's not what I said. I didn't even say they shouldn't be criticized for it. It's not appropriate to insult individuals for using an industry-standard practice. Criticize the practice, even criticize the people for perpetuating the practice, and I have no problem. But calling two well-trained people (Stanford & Cornell PhDs) "researchers" - which reads as "so-called researchers" to the native speaker - when their experiment was run like many, many others for well-understood practical reasons is not appropriate.
