- dTal 4y agoSure. There's nothing wrong with saying "this is counterintuitive to me, and I think it's worth exploring with an open mind why my mental model and the study diverge." But it's not really an interesting contribution to the dialogue to say "meh, I don't buy it" without any kind of followup. What are we meant to do with that?
- Godel_unicode 4y agoGood job that’s not what they did then, I suppose. They gave examples of why they’re skeptical, theories about what might be causing those discrepancies, and proposed an experiment for how to tease that out. You are meant to engage with what they actually wrote.
