Individuals and stories are part of good conversation. Skraushaar's comment was relevant and enjoyable.
Reflexive ideological dismissals, on the other hand, are just tedious.
- steveklabnik 13y agoAbsolutely. For conversational value, it's great. But in a discussion about empirical research, it's misleading at best.
- tptacek 13y agoI agree. Nobody would have realized that this was just a single person's story if it hadn't been pointed out. Thank you; I was almost about to add a "biological mother's profession" and "biological father's profession" field to our recruiting questionnaire, and have been spared an embarrassment.
