Seems like /sci/ is made up of three distinct groups;
1. Trained scientists
2. Students
3. Fanbois
Fanbois are embarrassingly bad at digesting scientific journals, and typically share articles from journalists. They post about race, iq, and climate change; always with certainty.
Students are not much better at digesting scientific journals, but markedly more certain. They post about which subject is superior and why you're a shill for disagreeing with what they learned sophomore year.
Then there are trained scientists. We try explaining to both groups that certainty decreases with experience.
Hypothesis, the size of groups 2+3 >> 1
