So if you burn your hand on a stove element, do you keep your hand there until you've derived a theory of how the element might be burning it from first principles, all the while chanting your mantra?
- lightyrs 13y agoNot at all. However, I also don't then post inflammatory pseudoscientific articles on the Internet with headlines like "White stove caused burns in man who was never burned by black stove." It's the current trend of bad science and lack of journalistic integrity that I'm taking issue with.
- codygman 13y agoWow... the implication that a white and black stove somehow mirror racism in anyway is laughable. It assumes that the only difference is color. It's disrespectful to the hundreds of years of institutional racism, denigration, and the current state of racial affairs in general.
- lightyrs 13y agoNo, that was your inference. The implication was that correlation does not equal causation.
