    tbf, I’ve always loved the truth-seeking behavior at the heart of interdisciplinary academic squabbles about which science is more scientific than which other ones.

    Leads to further pressures to improve methodology via cross-pollination anyway.

    Though it does get out of hand sometimes. But in an environment with enough competitive young people, I think things getting out of hand on occasion is more or less inevitable, so whatever.

    Of course, it’s my own training in certain skillsets that makes me prefer this view.
