To all those researchers: yup, from your perspective I am in fact being very unfair, and I’m sorry. You are not the intended audience of this post
I’m curious, what’s the distinction between “those researchers” and the actual intended audience of your post? Who is this meant to convince, if not the people you claim are being ‘stupid internally’?
This post isn’t intended to convince anyone at all that people are in fact streetlighting. This post is intended to present my own models and best guesses at what to do about it to people who are already convinced that most researchers in the field are streetlighting. They are the audience.
