On the contrary: I think you actually make a good argument for why we SHOULD have a Department of Butt Wiping with tenured professors who have spent their whole life time studying techniques of butt wiping.
If everyone does it (and often multiple times a day to boot) then there's actual material improvements to the human condition that could be identified and implemented. That improvement requires study, rigor, and people who stand to materially benefit for conducting that study. You'd generally end up in a university-like framework for that study (even private research is structured similar to university research, with some key differences).
- drdeca 3y agoI feel like probably all the major questions that might still remain about butt-wiping, would be solved before it had time to be established as a long-standing field of study? Not that there isn’t anything left to investigate about it (questions about soreness, quantifying effects of standing vs sitting, etc.) but, I don’t think any of these questions seem that hard? So much as just, no one has really been motivated to prioritize studying them, and if they were, it would be mopped up pretty quickly?
