Honestly to some “scientists” I am their enemy who publishes letters to the editor and critical reanalyses of their work because they use terrible methodology to try further their ideology.
The problem though, is they don’t give a fuck. Their goal isn’t to “discover”. It’s to provide more low quality “evidence” for their paradigm.
One of their favourite things to do, is accuse me, who has never talked with them irl or online, of “harassing” them. Just because I put requests for study data and reanlyse that data with proper protocols…

I think the problem here is that being a scientist means you are, by definition, “smart”. Which can make it hard to accept when you are being an idiot

Yeah, I hate how everyone but me does that

Being a scientist today means you are “smart” in a very narrow and limited area of expertise. Outside of that area, shit goes downhill fast.
I can’t find the link but scientists and academics are thought to be heavily targeted with affinity fraud schemes because they rarely report when they are duped.
