NOTE: If you want to respond to this by discussing differences between science and religion, that’s okay with me, but it won’t be relevant to what I’m saying. I’m not comparing science and religion. I’m comparing how people misuse research reports sometimes, and how they misuse religious scriptures sometimes.
One way that I see people misusing research reports, and religious scriptures, sometimes, is by imagining those writings saying things that they want them to say, to validate their prejudices, animosities and hostilities across imaginary lines defined by what people believe and don’t believe.
I’m curious to know if anyone else besides me is seeing what I’m seeing. I’m also curious to know if anyone is actually denying it.
