Not really. There is still a canon of stuff you are supposed to read and know, actually doing your own shit starts with the master to some degree but actually with your ph.d.

If you do it seriously then there isn't a big difference between soft and hard sciences. Though it's way easier to asspull stuff in soft sciences.

STEM fags are often highly autistic therefore highly dogmatic, if you steer them off a well beaten path they have been trained to understand they sperg out and can't function. Critical thinking is not in their purview, they only need to solve specific logic problems not really understand them so they usually don't. I worked for a literal rocket scientist at the Georgia Tech Advanced technology Development Center doing nano particle fire suppression and the dude was borderline retarded and couldn't understand simple logic outside of his specific engineering education.

samefag here decided to come back and give a specific example of this dudes autism. I had to get some thermal tiles for a project we were working on. I needed 7 I think so I went to buy them from the manufacturer. he manufacturer only had two boxes/sizes they sold them in. On was a 6 tile box and the other 12 tile box I think, possibly 9 but doesn't matter.

I bought the large box and left store. When I get in the car he calls me on my cell phone and we were talking about some mundane shit, probably other materials we needed for the experiment we were doing, copper and charcoal or some such thing. Anyhow he asks me how many tiles I got and I said I didn't know I just got the large box and he started to freak out on me saying I was inexact or something like that.

I was flabbergasted of course I was like wtf you on about schizo (not in these words though of course). He was upset I would buy the box without knowing how many tiles were in it. I kept trying to explain to him it didn't matter because the smaller box only had 6 in it and we needed 7 so it was either but two boxes of the small or one of the large but no matter how I tried to explain it to him he just couldn't process it the logic of it. His autism wouldn't allow him to understand it didn't fucking matter how many were in the box, it was the only thing we could but to satisfy our need.

I explained if we needed to know for accounting I could just count it at th office/look at the number on the box, but for purchasing purposes it was irrelevant how many were any it because the only other option was a box that had less than we actually needed. This autistic fucker just couldn't understand the simple logic of it and wanted to continue pressing the narrative I was "sloppy" on his mind for not knowing how many tiles were in it before I bought it when the simple fact was I wasn't a fucking moron and knew it was simply not relevant to whether I had to buy it or not.

It's not about whether or not you bought a box with 9 or 12 tiles. It's neither about actual autism although many STEMlets are somewhat Aspergian with tons of other issues in my experience. It's about the control they want to exercise over you. This is the reason why despite me having studied software engineering and computer science, I never went into the industry. You're in every way except in name a slave of your company who can easily get fired, bullied or overworked for the tiniest mistakes or none at all and don't think your employer won't try to badmouth you.

Keeping records of the past is easily the most important human tradition.
Granted this is a very specific correction to our beliefs about the traditions of a very specific culture. But you can't disregard this as worthless, because it is very dangerous ideology to say "these records are worth keeping and the other ones are not".

Generally this inability is most prevalent in literal schizos who will carry on a completely different conversation than everyone else around them and when someone tries to make sense out of their nonsensical babble using logic they simply move the goal posts and rant more nonsensical drivel like what you said had no bearing on their delusion, because it didn't.

him: nobody cares who you are whether you are OP or not

This is literally nonsensical schizo "reasoning". His entire response was based on his assumption that I was someone I am not and when this was explained to him he acted like it didn't matter, when that is clearly not the case to anyone who has a healthy functioning mind.

Added to the fact that he failed a simple logic question previous to this as well which led to this even happening and you can easily deduce he is a drooler with a very low IQ or a literal schizo who cannot access the proper variables needed to make rational/logical decisions

Again a completely moronic response hat shows you don't understand what factors in the OP were important to solving the logic problem.

[Anonymous No.11190136]

>>11190116
Well at least he isn't completely wrong this time. The "small" box did not meet the needs of the purchaser therefore it doesn't matter how many were in the "large" box as it was the only option to solve the problem at hand.

Unless of course the purchaser wanted to buy two boxes, but then as other anon pointed out why buy two when you can buy one, unless there were external factors like price or the large box had an incredibly ridiculous number of tiles like 50 or 500 etc which OP clearly stated was not the case.

The only other factor someone would possibly consider would be a cheaper price for buying two boxes, and this is illogical to assume as the single box is often where you get the price break from buying in bulk not buying two small boxes but all of this is irrelevant to the original problem anyhow as that information was not provided and would fall under "given".

There was only one logical outcome for OP's problem, buy the large box of tiles, if you can't solve this logic problem you are a brainlet and science is probably not the field you should pursue.

With the limited information in this post, and not knowing the exact conversation had, it sounds like your colleague wanted some economic justification. If you needed 7 tiles, and your 2 options were two boxes of 6 tiles, and one box of (more than 6 tiles, likely more than 7 tiles), then the next step would be to evaluate the two options for overall price to obtain 7 or more tiles.
If buying 2x 6 tile boxes cost less than the single box of unspecified (but more than 6) tiles box, then that would be pertinent info for the decision. He needs to know that the required quantity was obtained for the least amount of money. If it was adequately addressed in the conversation, and he was still flipping out, it's out-of-hand. If it wasn't addressed, then he has a case to sperg out because you would have neglected to relay that important info.

>this is illogical to assume as the single box is often where you get the price break from buying in bulk not buying two small boxes but all of this is irrelevant to the original problem anyhow as that information was not provided and would fall under "given".
What are we arguing for in this thread, logical vigor, or socially acceptable margin-for-error? If you need to be logically vigorous (which takes a few extra seconds of your time, if that to non-brainlets in a situation like this box purchase), knowing the price of each box would be sufficient for deciding to sperg or not. We were given that the large box meets the qty criteria, and that two small boxes would meet the qty criteria as well; we now would want to know which purchasing option was cheapest out of the two. You can't assume the large box is the cheaper option overall. Sales generally tend that it is cheaper per tile, but that isn't the same as cheaper to meet the criteria that single time. It's a clear assumption that can't be made to remain "logical"
But if we're just talking about "Hey, this makes some rough sense to some extra tiles, the price is pretty much the same", "Ok anon, sure, a few potential extra dollars doesn't really matter here", then this comes off as a slide thread.
