I’m totally ranting but the fact that this man thinks his EYES are more accurate than a computer program is absolutely mind boggling. I sent him the directions for how to use the measuring program. Will he use it? Absolutely not. He will go on confidently assuming his eyes are better at measuring than a fricking computer.

i think it has to do with experience and age, usually people who have been working on a field for a long time base their judgment on their "guts" and they are usually right.
Its like that line of dialogue in Succesion, when Logan Roy (the family's patriarch) its about to sell his empire for billions of dollars and his college educated but inexperienced kids are trying to make him slow down and analize the sell and he says: "No, it has to be now"
Daughter: Why now?
Logan: Because i feel it in my bones.
Daugther: Oh, wow, no arguing with that!
Logan: At the end of the day, its all i fricking got.

Yeah there will be leeway in every measurement, a carpenter might not care about millimetres of difference, a bridge constructor might accept a centimetres difference etc. But you don't cut a 100cm 2x4 if you need 60cm one or a 140cm one

lmao having worked with many bench scientists I can assure you that they are hungover, lazy, and only care about science as far as they are getting paid to work on someone else's grant. If someone can fudge the numbers to get 4th author in some random journal, they're also going to generalize data. Happens every single day.

Yeah, that's fine. That's the prerogative of any STEM professional. However, they still need to learn how to do shit properly before they're allowed to disregard it. That's the privelage of being a STEMcel: you put the work in to learn all this shit at the beginning so that you get to blow it off when you feel like it once you get the experience.
In short, force college kids to jump through these hoops so their laziness is informed when they enter the work force. Also, the rest of us had to do it so frick those kids if they think they can get it easier.

Eh, I’ll eye it if it’s a quick and dirty experiment. I’ll do it again all measured out if I get a promising result.

That's fine. I'm just saying that reliable final results cannot be done by eyeing measurements.
The reason college kids are put into these labs is to beat scientific procedure into them. Maybe this kid eyeing the stuff is already experienced at conducting lab work, or maybe he's just lazy and/or careless.

He’s probably just r-slurred because the purpose of the assignment was to use ImageJ or something to analyze some EM images.
Also, undergrad labs are hardly good at teaching anyone anything. It’s usually so spoon fed that you just need to go through the motions without real thought.

Ask a woman how tall she thinks an average doorframe is. You will get answers that will blow your mind. It's even more mindblowing than the experiment of asking women to name a year associated with each major American War.

When I worked at Lowes I had a foid tell me she measured her door and it was 7 inches tall and even showed me on the paper where she wrote down the measurement. Most doors are around 79"-80" tall so I guessed that she ignored the 6 feet and just paid attention to the 7 inches. The width was also fricked up and then she asked how difficult it is to install a door and if I thought she could do it on her own.

Just found this video of a podcast who asked their listeners to do this experiment and send in their results. Another common mistake I forgot about is conflating Columbus with the revolutionary war, so they’ll just casually name a year that’s 300 years off.

I don’t know who first did it, but it goes like this.
Without hints, ask a woman to name a year associated with the revolutionary war. Then ask her to name a year associated with the civil war, then WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. Yeah, there were a lot of other wars, but if you can’t come close to naming a year associated with each of these wars, you’d be pretty dumb, right?
Turns out almost every single woman is not even fricking close. They’ll give a year in the 1800’s for the revolutionary war, when any 1st grader knows about 1776. Sometimes they switch the order of the civil war and revolutionary war, and most of the time, they say that the world wars happened in the 1800’s.
I’ve done this about a dozen times, and even very smart women will be over 20 or 30 years off, thinking Vietnam happened in the 90’s, or thinking WWII happened in the 20’s. Those guesses are honestly close when you compare it other women.
I’ve also noticed that the guesses become even more insane when you list the wars out of order to them.

Replace guy with woman and repost to /r/derpleXX:
I’m in a lab group and I have a male lab partner who, on multiple occasions, had edited my work incorrectly (without asking, btw), but I think what happened tonight takes the cake.
Brief background: we had to measure an object in an image taken by electron microscopy. The image comes with a scale bar. There are programs out there where you can measure the pixel length of the scale bar and calibrate the number of pixels with the known length, which then allows you measure the actual length of something in the image.
I was responsible for measuring the object in the image. While we were in a meeting, my lab partner goes “looks like it’s about 100 nanometers”. Okay, disagree but whatevs. When I measured the object in the program, it came out to be around 60 nanometers, so I entered that in our shared document. I then get a text saying he really thinks it’s “closer to 100”. When I check the document, I see that HE EDITED MY WORK WITH HIS GUESS.
I’m totally ranting but the fact that this man thinks his EYES are more accurate than a computer program is absolutely mind boggling. Worse, I feel like I can’t edit MY WORK back to the measurements I made without looking like a Karen.
I sent him the directions for how to use the measuring program. Will he use it? Absolutely not. He will go on confidently assuming his eyes are better at measuring than a fricking computer.
Oh, what I would give to have the confidence of a wealthy straight man.
Edit: just woke up, thank you for the support guys. I did end up changing the data back to my measurements and letting them know that I won’t be changing it back unless someone else…ya know, actually measures

imho don't just straight up swap the genders. Instead, make the story exactly the same except now the Foid measures by instinct and the Moid uses the program.
Then add a few lines about how your instinct-based measuring is always accurate and the Professor has complemented you and the Moid is just jealous of your yass-kween skills
