Re:Poverty, not trauma, affects cognitive function in refuge... by bobisbob on Tuesday April 14, 2020 @04:55PM (#22871319)
This is an example of condescension and holding contradictory beliefs.

This person implies that this study is a replication of “known” things and that replications like this are not useful. But the replication strengthens the claims of 1, 2, and 4. This is a contradiction.

The sense of condescension comes from “oh great”, “absolutely nothing new”, “foolish”, and claim 5.

Claims 2 and 5 suggest some kind bias but I’m not sure how to classify it. Whatever it is, they give me a gross feeling.
