If it was “Find the value of X...

I have an MS in engineering, so I am not some nitpicking social “scientist.” I just understand the difference between what is stated and what is desired.

Don’t confuse them with “real answers” regarding grammar and writing.

We all know that only engineering and mathematics and physics deal with the real world.

Writing meaningful sentences is just a bunch of artsy fartsy prettiness. The humanities are just a bunch of girly airy fairy nonsense

We know that because Freepers proclaim it again and again and again.

Science good. Humanities useless.

Find the value of X? Find X? Who cares about such petty pretty differences. For an engineer, you sound like one of those airy fair humanities drones. /s

Here was my first problem with the article.
The word “social” placed in front of the word “scientist” negates scientist! You know that the author is anything but a scientist!
