@robfordmancs @JXB101 @Afriscopic @DrAlanWager @benwansell @ProfTimBale @UKandEU @michaeljswalker @jamesrbuk @colinrtalbot @sundersays Clarification: there's pre-existing research showing the two are connected.
I suspect they'd be less inclined to follow rules *on top of that* (/all other things being held equal) because they appear to find it gen. easier to mistrust *everything*/harder to credit abstractions/4
