I hide any thread that deals with education, education funding, or teaching in general for that specific reason. It really saddens me to see that this place is full of so much misinformation and anecdotes made into data (and usually with much more self-confidence than other forums, which is interesting to me).

It's why I generally only ask questions, or ask for clarification instead of directly challenging something I think might be wrong now in threads that aren't related to something I have deeeeep personal knowledge of. I know when I'm out of my area, and don't want to add to the ignorance.

Or worse, your whole field can be insitutionally blind to its own failings and randoms outside of it actually DO know more than you!. Chiropractors are literally worthless and being told "oh you don't get it bro" by them is their cope for being scammers, not an example of "their Gell Mann amnesia"
