    This is, without a doubt, the best explanation of the difference between "I did my research" and actually doing research that I've ever seenpic.twitter.com/xpIESvdfGR

        Well you say that its the best but did you at least take each explanation that you've ever seen, one by one and look into the source, then critique each explanation for logical fallacies, cognitive distortions and plain inaccuracies? 😉

        No it is a rather self-important load of bunk. As a professional researcher, that description is not followed by the research community and appears intended to belittle those unaware of its dubiousness. No serious researcher writes abstracts on all the articles they read.

        As for the suggestion that in order to believe a research article you have to do an independent analysis on the results from other studies. That is done by a handful of people (mostly grad students) or post-docs in need of a meta-anaysis for their CV.

        i feel like there should be a word invented to cover this whole thing so you can just call someone out for it and everyone knows what you mean.

        this is a typical example of academic arrogance, thinking our definitions of words are the only ones that count (I have a PhD)
