How a middle aged CS major debunked a classic positive psychology finding (2013)
I think this is a fantastic example of how a) anyone can call bullshit on science if it doesn&#x27;t make sense and b) there <i>are</i> more and less correct ways of calling bullshit on established science.<p>You don&#x27;t need to hop on a podcast or radio show in order to question the orthodoxy of a scientific claim, and in fact you shouldn&#x27;t if you want to be taken seriously.  Nick Brown would have hurt his case had he done that, and instead found a path that <i>actually</i> knocked down a faulty concept in a way that has lasting effects.<p>This is the process working.  This is all okay, and welcome, IMO, though possibly not by everyone involved.
