Wagner's MBA Law of Human DNA

Wagner's MBA Law of Human DNA: Meaningful patterns are rare in the Universe, such as works of art or engineering, and should be celebrated as gifts for their beauty and rarity... Human DNA as a foundation for cell division for each person represents a unique pattern that will never again occur in nature.

Wagner's MBA Law of Anti-Science

Wagner's MBA Law of Anti-Science: The so-called "Pro-Science" advocates are less scientific and more religious in their reasoning than the so-called "Anti-Science" advocates. I'm trying understand the term "anti-science"... Imagine that I'm reading though my latest issue of any of the social psychology journals on this list... and I think the literature review is too limited on one article... then I find another journal article that describes interesting results but they didn't perform a somewhat obvious statistical test. Still, another journal article takes a theoretical approach with which I don't agree. Hence, the question... if I find shortcomings in the data collection, research methods or conclusions of certain journal articles, and I can articulate my specific objection I am "correct," in my opinion, and I have specific evidence to support my conjectures. Am I being anti-science by being "correct" in my objections? No. Am I being pro-science by being "correct" in my objections? Yes. So when I criticize unsupported theories (in my opinion) about the origins of the Universe, the Earth, or the Origin of Life, am I being anti-science? No. Being "correct" with qualifications is a specific condition that is clearly distinguishable from being "incorrect." That is, "correct" is noticeably different from "incorrect." Hence, I am not being "Anti-science" by pointing out obvious flaws in conclusions obtained from non-empirical investigations of theories. So if DNA strands that are so necessary for the primary life process of cell division came from inorganic chemical soup at the dawn of time, offer some supporting evidence... OK? Otherwise, quit your belly-aching!

Wagner's MBA Law of The Overqualification Fallacy

Wagner's MBA Law of The Overqualification Fallacy: The state or condition of Overqualification as a negative characteristic does not exist in referring to human skills sets, so please stop saying this to people as if it is some sort of disqualification. My student was just ignored for a promotion because they were told they are "overqualified." The term "overqualification" has no actual meaning. If a person is overqualified, they are, in fact, qualified. One cannot be over-qualified without first being qualified. More is greater than less. Does that help? I hope we can now laugh at people who use the term "overqualfiication" or "overqualified." You're welcome... ;)

Wagner's MBA Law of Jon Stewart

Wagner's MBA Law of Jon Stewart: Stewart made many good points, and was hilarious, even though he was frequently wrong and had an idealogical axe to grind... That said, if you didn't watch anything but Stewart, you could get a pretty good idea of what controversy was afoot... I'll miss him.
