I had a Ph.D instructor in psychology.
She said, women are actually taller than men when all cultures are studied.
I don't care enough to dig deeper, but always stuck with me.

Edit: This includes those with STEM degrees as well. You really shouldn't trust someone more just because they have a research degree. I knew a professor who claimed to have solved some famous problems but that the peer reviewers just didn't want to accept that he solved it and therefore rejected his papers.
Did what? Made something up? What specifically?
In particular, "People with Ph.D's often makes up facts and believes in nonsense just like everybody else." is definitely not something they just made up.
And "just like everybody else" is not putting a particular group into a bag.
But is being put in a bag such a bad thing. Phd ppl are just as shit as the rest of us.
So when someone cites papers they tend to be trustworthy and you can have a discussion. When they don't you can't trust them, you can still have casual conversations but you can't trust any facts. Them being a researcher or not doesn't matter here.
In short: Trust science, not scientists.
