Such a poor attitude! This isn't Science magazine. The entire article -- a hypothesis anyway -- is prefaced by "words I would have wanted to hear as a child". Were you expecting him to run experiments for this piece?
- diminoten 12y ago"This isn't Science magazine." Finish that thought. This isn't Science magazine so... we can just make things up and say whatever we want, even if it's blatantly and provably untrue?
- joeframbach 12y agoThis isn't Science magazine; an interesting or thought-provoking idea is just as valuable as a repeatable experiment.
- diminoten 12y agoYes, in the same way a good fiction story is. "Wouldn't it be nice if life were so simple as I'm about to describe?" But this doesn't present itself as a fiction, this presents itself as true, when it's clearly the case that the author has no idea if it's true or not, having not done the requisite legwork to verify.
- joeframbach 12y ago> to become good at something, which I think requires far less time and dedication. > I claim that it takes roughly 1,000 hours of practice It presents itself as neither fiction nor reference. It presents itself as a thought and a claim.
- diminoten 12y agoIt shouldn't have been written and is mental masturbatory bullshit on the part of the author. He should stick to the content he's educated on.
