What would make you think that?
- TeMPOraL 3y agoBecause unless one's a researcher, their job doesn't require a fully consistent set of beliefs. Being wrong or even stupid about one area usually doesn't affect any other areas - if it does, it probably means one's spending too much time rethinking everything from first principles, when they should've long ago developed a feel for it.
- NateEag 3y agoBeing a researcher doesn't require a fully consistent set of beliefs. You do need to be willing to go where the evidence leads you, but that doesn't require or guarantee a fully-consistent belief system.
