Therefore never send to know for whom the bells curves; it curves for thee.
Thanks for finding that info.
dsallen, huh? Pinging someone who might actually be that person...
A sociologist, eh? Funniest afternoon I spent in grad school was listening to a PhD in Sociology defend his ability to claim that he was doing anything that could be described as a science.
Claiming that the lady is working with physicists and is therefore a “scientist in the tradition of Einstein” is almost more of a slander on real science as anything Al Gore has presented in his long-winded snake oil scam. Producing this drivel for WaPo to run as the opening gambit of attempts to frighten FReepers (just for starters) into silence is only validation of my theory on that subject.
These sophomoric antics are about to get on my last d*** nerve. The MSM has apparently decided that, since they have so thoroughly wrecked their own credibility, they can now dress their propaganda as “scientific study” and continue as before. I can only hope that they don’t destroy the reputations of too many genuine scientists while they’re engaged in this ploy.
Finally, if the lady is actually teaching or having any effect on the curriculum, I guess I’ve just added another school to the list of places that I would definitely NOT recommend to any of my family. Or MY students.
