Exactly. This site needs someone who understands the basics of scientific research if they’re going to keep commenting on it, because they typically have no idea what they’re talking about.

“objective qualifications (test scores)“

But remember, becuase he’s “bae” or some such idiocy, those tweets weren’t offensive and everyone was just overreacting, as the Jezebel staff made sure to inform us.
