In connection with research by one David Amodio, Krzysztof Szymborski writes in the current Polityka that the results of scientific experiments and research are often incorrectly interpreted by journalists and misunderstood by readers. Results presented in the cold, clinical language of science inevitably become valorised, which can disgruntle the reader. Perhaps he has in mind statements such as this one: “left-wingers have a natural tendency to choose unproductive careers, for example in academia, leaving conservatives [i.e. right wingers] with profitable and useful options like finance, law and accountancy.” This statement issued from the Parker/Pelican/Waterman/Remington typewriter of a man who describes himself as “the duty conservative in a group of radical liberal professors in a typical American college.” The name of the boffin in question? Krzysztof Szymborski. The simplified results of Amodio’s research? Conservatives are less intelligent than left wingers.
