Did they correct for poor welfare moms, blue collar union workers, or Muslims?
To think that only Tea party members and Christian fundamentalists are the only ones who might not understand or have a problem with the scientific method is absurd. I really doubt your average 20 year old wearing a Che shirt cares any more about the scientific method than your average Tea Partier.
What a ridiculous question.
I didn't say "only" Tea Party folks or fundies, so I'd appreciate not being misquoted. I also didn't say anything about "understanding" the scientific method. I think a lot of those folks understand it quite well; they just choose to cynically lie about it for political reasons, which is the crucial difference here.
You bringing up Muslims or welfare moms says all we need to know about your particular attitudes. It's really not my fault if you have a problem acknowledging the factual reality here. The facts are, the Tea Party is actively hostile to science, the scientific method, and scientific conclusions in general. This isn't my opinion, it's not controversial, and it involves no tricky judgment calls. It's a fact.
even a 20 years old wearing a Che shirt would see a connection [possibly after several trials] between stepping on a rake and a strange immediate sensation on the forehead and will cease to step on the rake thus manifesting basic grasp of the scientific method. Not so for a Tea Partier - he (or she) will every time think that it is God's will or somebody attacking them and their freedom to step on the rake and the Tea Partier will continue to step on the rake to assert their freedom and will also force others to do so.
If true, it's counterintuitive - one would expect the risk-tolerant investors to have higher returns.
Sorry I can't find the links.
They studied a number of things and "... when they controlled for the number of women in a group, it was shown that it was the emotional sensitivity scores which won out."
Whatever its merits or flaws, the study was not simply about adding women to groups of men.
tl;dr: as one would expect, it's not that great and certainly doesn't justify the title.
Mad Men for the win. I knew replacing our secretaries with computers would destroy America. Your team doesn't need more developers, you need a Peggy Olson.
