1. Summers is not a neuroscientist. He is an economist, and he is ill equipped to make any meaningful claims about this.
2. Proposing a hypothesis is not doing science. Science would involve actually testing a hypothesis by applying rigorous and reliable methods that suit the phenomenon being investigated, verifying the validity of results, interpreting the results and having the results reviewed by peer experts.
3. Summers’ remarks were merely pulled out of his ass and we’re in no way informed by any scientific process.
4. He has crucially undermined the work of countless women working as scientists at Harvard, and therefore failed in his duties as leader of that world class institution.
4. He resigned as a result of a no-confidence vote from the faculty (i.e. all the smart people who work at Harvard), which underscores how shitty he was at his job and how dumb his remarks were.
> Lawrence Summers is the Galileo of our time.
