Your criticism targets the idiosyncrasies of this particular paper but ignores the multi-front of genetic, neuroimaging, and physiological scientific literature

Your criticism targets the idiosyncrasies of this particular paper but ignores the multi-front of genetic, neuroimaging, and physiological scientific literature investigating this phenomenon. The author's hypothesis did not occur in a vacuum, nor was this study the one that first proposed it.
In the end, the criticism you present seems like troll-baiting the culture wars, making political what scientists are pursuing in good faith with the scientific method using data and hypothesis.
- leephillips 6y agoYes, I was, in fact, talking about this particular paper. I’m sure it was clear that I don’t consider this an example of the scientific method; so you are begging the question. The rest of your remarks are arguments from motivation.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoI don’t see the lack of the vacuum discussed in the paper apart from your meta-comment about it, therefore I will not take it as being necessarily true.
