    Why’s she flexing about a paper that a white male couldn’t understand?

    Also science is full of arrogant people, both males and females.

        She wrote a book. Then the arrogant white male read it. And referenced it while arguing with her, quoting the book. How he would argue with her if he did understand the book correctly

          No, like, I get that he evidently didn’t understand it, but I find your question strange as it presupposes that she is “flexing” about a paper rather than complaining about how presumptuous some of her fellows can be.

      Titles will do that. Even the self imposed, like ‘musician’. The music scene is filled to the brim with undeserved self importance.

      It makes sense that the science community is the same way.

        Okay, in my experience, as a recent PhD working in a science-related field, the scientific community is a comfortable place for people with superiority complex and for blatant fascists of all kinds.

            Kinda 🤷🏼‍♂️. It’s some kind of social platform (i.e. shit talk) where people talk and not a peer review q1 journal.

            Still a good basis for null hypothesis
