I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an “abstract study” even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?
fucking fool

An abstract study has yet to be implemented. You cannot run an abstract study on it’s own. Otherwise, it can be about anything.
for non programmers
An abstract class is a concept in programming.

Also every scientist who works in theoretical disciplines.

I was actually wondering this the other day. Could I be so abstract that I don’t even really say anything useful at all in the paper, but still make it sound like there’s something to it? 🤔

Clearly it’s a meta analysis of abstracts.
Hedup@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It’s just a study done on a higher abstraction level. Like looking at CPU as a collection of logic gates instead of transistors. Or programming in C instead of assembly.

Same problem in the abstract art business. Too many artists publish only a summary of their painting or song, instead of the whole deal.

What’s the context for this?
TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 8 months ago
A summary of a scientific paper is called an abstract, it’s a stripped down version of what the paper is covering.
The joke is that this person is not scientifically literate enough to understand that “abstract” in this context has a different meaning than in other fields of study like art

It’s abstract, you wouldn’t get it.

When you find out about Dunning-Kruger and realise that that’s why everyone else in the world is so stupid apart from you.

Unlike most people, I see what you did there.
