Re: Debunking Psychobabble.

So you see why I gave up psychological research around 1990. I felt that I was in a dialogue with mere game-players rather than serious scientists. What they say reflects their prejudices, not the results of any serious research.
I'm not convinced that the "the game" is based entirely on (I'll be generous) "scientists"
(racial? gender? sexuality?)prejudices. I have to ASSUME that they cater to a prejudice
of their perceived audience of peers, lest they be denied "research" funding, tenure (reliant on "publication"), or some sort of delusional Academic authority.

But, that's just me.
Ooooh wait,

Aaaaah.....

Now THERE'S a rare annecdotal phenomenon amongst (usually self proclaimed or shilled)"intellectuals" and "Acadamics", fully developed testicles!
