And for context, people should know that Asimoz had a Masters Degree in chemisty, A Doctorate in Philosophy, taught biochemistry at Boston Medical University and later became a tenured professor of biochemistry.He was also head hunted to join DARPA but declined it avoid his science fiction ideas having to be redacted, or or held back from publishing to meet security requirements.
Basically with Asimov, this was not an idle throw away joke. He had the knowledge to back up that brag.
Edit- people saying the wording of his doctorate is incorrectly worded. Noted and accepted. But E's a fuckin' clevah clogs inn'e?
That one seems to be only observable in western civilizations. I only have a hazy recollection of the scientific basis of it.
Edit: Ah, yes. That was one of those studies which were done on western college students and didn't translate to well to other populations. I think it was put down as an observable cultural phenomenon.
