I have read the abstract and it does not answer my questions nor does it address the issue that these researchers have employed a “scale” (in this case developed by “Pennycook and colleagues”) to evaluate statements that they have deemed truly “profound” or “mundane” without any scientific basis. This sort of puesdo-science happens quite often in research, especially social study research. The “scale” may be scientific (we don’t have access to any of Pennycook’s data), but the designation of the statements given to participants (truly profound or mundane) is not scientifically proved. If so, where is that proof? If the researchers had asked the participants if they thought a statement were true or false, and the statement was scientifically proved to be true for false, then they could draw some deductions. However, they chose instead to ask the participants a semantically defined question rather than a scientifically defined question. The result is bullsh*t… |
