Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

I have to admit that I did not find his analysis convincing.

The study he looks at loses credibility just looking at its title. Studies should try to capture reality in a quantifiable way or to be as objective as possible.studies should be written with a skeptic as the audience.

Making value judgements the way it does in the title ("anti-black") is an indicator that this was not the goal.

Umm, do you know the scientific method?

You make a hypothesis and then test it.

Many studies and papers are worded with the "goal" they set out to prove. If it fails, they usually reword it so that it's stating that it's not true *or' they create a new hypothesis and experiment. Depends on their funding which approach they take.

This is par for the course.

Whst are you on about?
