I've seen this posted at least twice already this week. Both times it got upvited enough that it should have made the front page but was instead flagged to oblivion. Don't know why people are finding this article so offensive.
I would cite examples, but it would get me banned from hacker news and/or fired from my job. Ha ha.
I wouldn't say that the Wired article explains what the study found all that well. (It involves asking participants to read one of two different versions of a scientific abstract and judging the study's quality.) Maybe discussing the paper would be more useful?
You want an open discussion. James Demore wanted an open discussion...and was fired for his opinion. I personally find the biological argument hard to swallow, but I am strongly against firing people who have a different point of view.
Now - one wants to get fired = no open discussion.

Mostly that, and without the ha ha.
