932 Well, that is more about human behavior rather than science, actually. What is so hard about "not stealing" when you're a smart scientist?

That's bad scientific practice though, isn't it?

It is really poor behaviour from someone in the scientific community that just wants me to design stuff for free.


I think that scientific talking is more about the language barrier than anything

933

A lot of scientists struggle to communicate their science to people that are not at the same level of education as they are. Sometimes it it snobbishness or dick-measuring.

I find people that are passionate about their science can use that passion to help anyone understand their science. Likewise with artists, some are deliberately obscure and look down on anyone that is not "artistic" but most I have talked to are really happy to talk about their art and what it means to them.

Totally agree, it's just being an elitist which makes it detrimental to your field of knowledge but... A lot of people want to brag and feel superior.

Sorry, my keyboard and SaSu interact very badly. I suppose they wanted to emphasize how much dick-measuringing it is.

Exaclty! There's often an easier metaphor which can be used to desribe it to lay-people even.

It could also be because they don't master their fields quite as much as they believe they do?
It's quite an exceptional form of expertise to be able to explain things to people out of the field, especially without losing the nuances of it!

Idk if I remember well, some smart guy once said something along the line of "if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"

That said, it could also be a theory of mind issue, where the person simply cannot see from the other person's perspective and thus believe they understand it just as well

🫂 I can only hope I am like that when working with people!

coffee is disgusting,
especially when you guzzle as much of it as I do,
but I don't have anything else
