In other news, "headass" is my new favorite word. I've decided that it means "arcane and esoteric, yet arousing passions equivalent to things that are far more relevant and accessible".
Other extremely headass debates include:

*the proper meaning of the word "appropriation"
*whether it makes sense to say that a model is "wrong"
*whether "group selection" is a real thing
*whether Denmark is actually socialist
