What information does it store that good need for grant proposals??

That is a reasonable heuristic, but I’m an unreasonable person. :) would love an invite next year!

What an awesome group! My invite must have been lost in the mail. :)

I have no issue with the arm chair! Which has recently landed me in the predicament of difficult revisions recently where I had to reverse engineer and make my arm chairing systematic. Maybe I’m having a low level trauma response … and trying to save us the work later on

Haha I tried to edit my comment to convey what I really meant is not just AI v. Arm chair but anything semi-systematic v. Arm chair

It’s the journal club at UMN!

It sounds like your post refers to a particular interpretation of the p factor, not the empirical finding that it exists (the factor).

I just mean it comes out in factor analysis time and time again, so we’d have to grapple with that. Interpretation is a whole other story!

Well, I think we’d be talking about it because it is consistently found empirically?

Yes! Completely agree.

Put another way: what hypotheses don’t come from engaging with data?
