@d_christiansen @puffnfresh What you "prefer" is completely unrelated to the goal -- another conflation that removes focus.

@dibblego @puffnfresh What is "the goal"? My goal is getting and spreading knowledge.

@d_christiansen @puffnfresh Assisting in understanding. I contend that you keep making leaps that have not demonstrated efficacy.

@dibblego @puffnfresh Certainly I don't know of any solid research here. Working from own experience only.

@d_christiansen @puffnfresh Same, and the reports of peers, who strongly disagree with you. There is not a hint of experiential evidence.

@dibblego @puffnfresh What do you take me to be advocating?

@d_christiansen @puffnfresh That "respect" contributes to the goal more so than "having a beard" does (or any other arbitrary thing).

@dibblego @puffnfresh If you can't see that treating people well makes them more inclined to listen to you.....
