Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    That sounds good. I’d always want to take a look under the hood myself though.

    Like, quickly check if what he’s presented really is a representative sample of his opponents’ output. Another good shortcut for if it’s really not your field/intelligible to you, is to check what other reputable scientists are saying about his work and why.

    My habit of double-checking facts can drive people a bit crazy though.

      In my field, I generally will get multiple sources for complex things.

      In other stuff that I’m interested in, I’m less rigorous. But in this instance, I feel the confirmation bias is so strong, I need to do a bit more checking.

        Fair enough. I think I have the same bias as you about overly processed food.
