That’s a funny quote, but I’m not sure what the relevance is. Did I make a generalization, or did the author of the article make one?
There’s probably on the order of 10 million scientists, a sizeable chunk of whom could be said to work in biology (including adjacent fields like microbiology, biochem…). The article contains only references to a handful of non-representative outliers… That’s more than a generalization, it’s a total miss.
- doctorpangloss 2y agoYou’re doing it again: complaining about one person’s generalization from a few examples, then making your own, far grander and more absolute generalization, on an even flimsier, vibesier idea, contained only in your head and personal experiences, that you feel is too cumbersome to share, making it subject to none of the scrutiny you are making.
