This is totally unfalsifiable. I claim that the smartest people around always wear clown shoes to work. If you disagree, it's simply because you haven't met any of the people I'm talking about. QED
So. I'm offering my anecdotal opinion. If you want to make it invalid because you can't falsify it so be it.
It's like proving the ground exists when you jump off the bed in the morning. The overly nerdy and stupid HNer can't even move an inch off the bed until the scientific method is employed in attempt to falsify whether the groun doesn't exist. OoooooOOh.
I'm just offering my anecdota opinion here. If you can't listen to normal conversation and you can only read research papers (which mind you suffers from a replication crisis) then more power to you.
