Default Study shows even physicists hate math!

key to his argument is;

"The researchers found using statistical analysis of the number of
citations to 2,000 articles in a leading physics journal, that articles
are less likely to be referenced by other physicists if they have lots
of mathematical equations on each page."

but that is BS, as obviously the most referenced papers are the ones
with a new key piece of knowledge discovered, or derrived in them.
Anyone that has worked or researched in the professional journals knows
this.

And those papers are not dependent upon the amount of math in them, some
have a little, some have a lot.

So I think this author laid an egg with this, it is bogus.


Well, it isn't the first time that a study made a wrong correlation.
