If you're saying that more polymaths are likely to end up as physics professors than French professors, doesn't that actually support the point he's making?

- hinkley 7y agoProving that it makes sense for anecdotes to exist doesn't suddenly turn them into data. Polymaths are physicists does not even mean that physicists are polymaths.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoNo, but "polymaths are smarter than non-polymaths" and "polymaths are much more likely to go into physics than French literature" combined essentially prove PG's point.
