Dude, correlations of .35 are pretty much trash in nonlinear domains. In stuff like sports analytics, you can work w/them cuz you're in domains that normalize due to large sample sets. W/*outcomes* of human intelligence (like wealth), throw it all out the window. https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1141449433080455168 …

When you make those decisions, it's called bullshit vending. Outcomes in real life, like wealth, aren't the same as the odds of winning a championship or how many games the Warriors win next season. It's a different domain.

You're trying to apply .35 correlations to domains w/Pareto tails. That is idiotic.

Shouldn’t scientist be held to a higher standard than “we all make judgment on 0.35 correlation” ?

They're not scientists. They're social scientists. So no, they won't hold themselves to standards that would show that everything they've done for their entire lives is bullshit. It would leave them w/very hard choices, which most ppl choose to avoid.
