Why do Some Argue Against Skill Based MM?

DeviouslyCursed:  Ah, I see what you did there in the first sentence, nice. But yes, it does hit a nerve, because we deal with anti-science twits all the time. Giving them a cute phrase is just going to make it worse. And yes, always look at how data was obtained, and whether the conclusions the researcher arrived at are valid, of if the statistics are being misrepresented, etc. (Kind of like that graph the global warming deniers liked to pass around years ago, that started with the warmest possible year in an effort to make it look like there was no upward trend. Course now, even starting with that unusually warm year, the trend is still obvious. So that graph has kind of fallen away. Now it's "but we're not the cause!" )
