tbf, I’ve always loved the truth-seeking behavior at the heart of interdisciplinary academic squabbles about which science is more scientific than which other ones.
Leads to further pressures to improve methodology via cross-pollination anyway.
Though it does get out of hand sometimes. But in an environment with enough competitive young people, I think things getting out of hand on occasion is more or less inevitable, so whatever.
Of course, it’s my own training in certain skillsets that makes me prefer this view.
It’s kinda baffaling to me that we don’t encourage more hybrid degrees for scientific reaearch. Like even if it was just 10% of the field that seems highly valuable
