Hurts a little bit, but I get it, because that's saying, hey, within the behavioral science community, we're the people that are watching the behavioral scientists. And you're right, no one likes internal affairs. Most of our thinking is that we want to be journalists, that it's fun to investigate. That's true for everybody in the field, right?

They're all curious about whatever it is they're studying. And so we're curious about this. And then when we find things that we think are interesting, we also want to talk about it, not just with each other, but with the outside world.

But I don't identify as much with being a police officer or even a detective, though every now and then people will compare us to something like Sherlock Holmes, and that feels more fun. But in truth, the reason I sort of wince at the question is that the vast majority of the time, it comes with far more burden than it does pleasure.

Yeah. The lawsuit makes all of the psychological burden into a concrete, observable thing. But the part prior to that is that every time we report on anything... That's going to be like, look, we think something bad happened here. Someone is going to be mad at us. And probably more people are going to be. And I don't want people to be mad at me. And I think about some of the people involved.

And it's hard because I know a lot of these people and I know their friends and I know the friends of the friends. And that carries real, real stress for, I think, all three of us.

Yeah, that's real bad. I'm not happy with being compared to the Stassi. The optimistic take is that there's less of that than there used to be.

When any of the three of us go and visit universities, for example, and we talk to doctoral students and we talk to assistant professors and we talk to associate professors, we talk to senior professors, the students basically all behave as though they don't understand why anyone would ever be against what we're saying.
