     @CoQ_10 Yeah yeah, women retarded and all that.

     But this IS a great chance to talk about the risk of any group to be blind to expertise outside itself. Too often high-level nerds in any discipline approach things with near willful blindness to the idea that anyone else knows something they do not.

     The fact the paper made it through review in 1994 tells me that those responsible for reviewing it probably didn’t understand much more than she did, they too were probably non-math biology retards.

     @poastoak @CoQ_10 And? They forget all that the minute they finish the final. (And that calculus is probably pared down quite a bit)

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @CoQ_10 Natural science curriculum in all the colleges I have attended requires minimum 2 semesters of calculus for all majors

     @poastoak @CoQ_10 I’ve had a new hire at an airline, multi-year instructor pilot tell me I was mistaken and a turbocharged piston engine is the “exact same thing, just smaller” as a turboprop

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @CoQ_10 I dunno man, I took a C in integral calc for science majors while I was at UT (fucking retarded, should have just taken business calc but it didn't fit my schedule) and my wife failed it and changed her major to education.
     
     I would assume a Columbia grad (especially back when that meant something) would have had a legitimate course

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @CoQ_10 To make matters worse, it looks like she saw the formula as specific to her field of research rather than a general solution for solving for the area under a curve. Why else would she label it as being for "Glucose Tolerance and Other Metabolic Curves?"

     So even when reinventing a worse version of a wheel, she still fails at abstract thinking (big shock I know).
