When I read "Some scientists think", two things tend to come to mind.
One is "It would be good idea if they all did".
The other is "If only a minority them think it, why don't the others? Does it lie in their range of expertise and are they competent?"
The phrase is often, in practice, used to try and persuade you something that is bollocks. The continuation in that twitter thread was a bit of a surprise.

Or a single study which hasn't been replicated on a group of 30 undergrads in a public university in the Midwest.Sciolus wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 5:23 pmIn mice.Holylol wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 3:54 pm"A study says"...IvanV wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 2:31 pmWhen I read "Some scientists think", two things tend to come to mind.

Public universities are far more reputable than the average university in the US.

I once drunkenly did something similar with a pool ball (the white, it’s slightly smaller) in the back of a taxi.
The driver who, reluctantly and eventually, came to my rescue was not impressed.
It remains an n=1 so for the sake of scientific rigour I should probably replicate the study at some point.

If done in the back of a taxi, we can safely say you're not a Neitzchian Ubermensch.Little waster wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 11:00 pmI once drunkenly did something similar with a pool ball (the white, it’s slightly smaller) in the back of a taxi.
