So, Conservatives not the psychotic ones, after all..

[*bfine32*]

Why do folks keep bringing up:

Quote:The journal said the error doesn’t change the main conclusions of the paper, which found that “personality traits do not cause people to develop political attitudes.”

Yet omit the very next line

Quote:But professor Steven Ludeke of the University of Southern Denmark, who pointed out the errors, told Retraction Watch that they “matter quite a lot.”

So the dude that found the errors says they matter, but the folks that made the error says they do not.

I get nobody wants to be a member of a population that may be more propensed to being psychotic, but after the errors were pointed out, that's exactly what the paper points to:

Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

Quote:The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

To be honest you guys were doing better arguing the semantics
