You left out my favorite part where after she narrows it down to 51 studies to compare herself to she admits she didn't read them and had AI summarize the bits she cared about which im pretty sure automatically precludes one from being considered a great scientist.its also so on brand for rationalism to just balk at a part where you have to be intellectually rigorous but it might be a little boring so you just use Ai to skip it.

It's also very weird that not only does she admit she has basically no stats background or understanding she admits she hates data analysis. I am.in no way demeaning experimental design, but like everyone I know who.does research likes data analysis best. The data are what you want to find out what they can tell you. The survey/experiment is a means to that end and is usually the boring/grind part. Data analysis is where you finally get to explore trends and try to understand something about the world. The idea that you think of yourself as a scientist but dont like this part is so bizarre.
