    GLaDOS: You’re not smart. You’re not a scientist. You’re not a doctor. You’re not even a full-time employee! Where did your life go so wrong?

    What that phrase SHOULD mean: "I will refrain from having opinions on scientific matters, and leave those to actual scientists*

    What the phrase ACTUALLY means: “I’ll ignore the science, and have opinions anyway.”

    Usually followed by “but…” and a shitload of misinformation and outrageous lies.

    It’s almost never followed by “so I listen to the scientists who have researched the facts of this situation.”

    (Added the “almost” because there are a few politicians who do respect scientists. None of whom are Republicans.)
