re: #630 Dark_Falcon

The line “Chicago, huh? Bet they knew what result they wanted before they started!” relies on the idea that the study in question was designed so that the results would be acceptable to the city’s political establishment. I wanted to give folks here a post they could use to kill that bullshit argument stone-dead.

You’re giving them far too much credit for thought. It’s much simpler. Anything that comes out of academia in any area that generally votes Democratic is automatically discredited, so ‘Chicago’ is basically a code word.

Mind you, the idiot who said this doesn’t believe anything coming out of academia if it doesn’t align with his “common sense”, which is what he calls his set of beliefs. These are not subject to objective verification, of course. They’re just TRUE!!!
