With regards to the social sciences

I dislike specialists who are so specialized in their field that they can, and do ignore any opinion that isn't as firmly grounded in their speciality simply because they have a mountain of evidence and knowledge at their disposal.


This is probably a throwback to doing Lincoln and Douglas debate in High School, but if something doesn't make sense you better damn well explain it and not throw back some statistic or number or survey at me, cause that's bullshit. I do NOT accept truths without justification or explanation for why they are true.
