Like with the hospital sketch from Meaning of Life, that seems a more charitable reading than it was intended at the time.
Reading the oral history of it from the other people there, it doesn’t seem like Steve Austin was there, or at least that it happened that way.
Why do we need to encourage people to join STEM programs?
It’s not even that the programmers are evil, it’s that if they’re the clueless, ‘Oh, you got a humanities major?’ sort, they’ll be so unaware or dismissive of what the junk data is they’ll not recognize it themselves or not account for it.
