It's evidence that people can hold opinions that while perhaps mainstream at the time, in retrospect decide they are not well founded, and reconsider them.

I have no idea about Fisher specifically. I hadn't really heard of him until this was posted. Eugenics was popular among a lot of academics in the early 20th century however.

Could be. Maybe it happened!

The question here is about whether there is any shred of evidence that it did happen.

  • Or maybe ur weakass comment degrades the forum, dang

    • Again, if you can provide some kind of comprehensible reasoning why that's actually the case, your insightful comment would be more persuasive.
