"No matter how many times they say it, most still make decisions based on gut feel, basic credentials, GPAs, ivy league educations, flashy company names - even SAT scores. Roseman objects."
What's a Roseman object? Is it some psychological classification of the means by which we just things? Of course, I mis-read it. Shame, that could have been an interesting topic.
- lsb 13y agoIf it's confusing to parse, let me expand it: Neil Roseman strenuously objects to that assertion.
- afandian 13y agoI understood it perfectly about half a second after I misunderstood it. I just thought I'd share my experience, as I found it amusing.
- saraid216 13y agoI didn't know "just" was a verb. Is that when we do something but only barely competently?
- afandian 13y agoIt's not a verb, it's a typo.

- learc83 13y ago>SAT scores Wait...what? Is this a thing? Are people actually putting this on their resumes? I had the highest SAT in my county (still just a 1360/1600), but I don't go around putting 2002 "STAR student"[1] on my resume. [1]Local award for highest SAT score. I think each school in Georgia awards this.
