“Corporate bullshit is a specific style of communication that uses confusing, abstract buzzwords in a functionally misleading way,” said Littrell, a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Arts and Sciences. “Unlike technical jargon, which can sometimes make office communication a little easier, corporate bullshit confuses rather than clarifies. It may sound impressive, but it is semantically empty.”
Is there a scientific term for the branch of inquiry dedicated towards proving the obvious? Besides “science”.
You would be surprised at how much “common sense” has been disproved by science.
My favorite example is that for thousands of years, people thought heavy stuff fell faster. And Galileo dropped two balls of similar size and different weight, and people went “da fuque?”
Common sense is just “I assume everyone assumes that…”
No shit. Wait! That’s it! Cornell’s “noshitologists” have discovered what reasonable people already realized.
:D
Science is probing the obvious. Proving the obvious, dunno if that’s called something in particular.
