I agree with Tailcalled on this, and had a lot of frustration around these issues with psychology when I was studying psych as an undergrad. I also think that johnswentworth’s point stands. The psychologists may not follow the norms he describes in practice, but they clearly OUGHT to, and we should hold ourselves to the higher standard of accuracy. Imitating the flawed example of current psychology practices would be shooting ourselves in the foot, undermining our ability to seek the truth of the matter.

I agree that the point about discourse still stands.
