Fair enough, a lot of people in general obviously do that though. I guess my point is that I see people posting stuff here all the time that's contradicted by science, but people only call it out on socially acceptable issues.
For example, if I had a dollar for every time I saw someone on HN criticizing the methodology of a study they haven't actually read then I wouldn't be doing a startup right now. And yet these posts rarely get downvoted.
Wait . . . there is science suggesting that using GPA as a component of hiring leads to bad outcomes? I wouldn't have thought this would be the type of thing that could be studied easily, but I'm always willing to learn.
