I've seen these! And I did do a little evaluation and go "gender is kinda silly to me but I'm happy and comfy as a woman, and was assigned that, so I guess I'm good to go."

Overheard

Let's use an example. Here, "theory" is a necessary term that refers to prior research. "Interaction" describes a specific statistical relationship. "Partisanship" and "party control" are terms that have established definitions - you can't use different terms. All of this language allows precision.

This meeting could have been an all-hands weekend working retreat.
