Woman: Gerard, many of our readers are not familiar with the difference between the humanities and social sciences.

Man: Let us elaborate! Humanities is the study of the human condition through literary analysis and criticism.

Woman: ... while us social scientists use real data!

Man: You call subjective 'interviews' and 'life histories' 'real data'?

Woman: Whatever. At least we don't 'make stuff up'.

Man: Speculative analysis is not 'making stuff up'!

Woman: look at me! i sit in a room with some books! give me a PHD!
