social scientists, funny dudes.

A friend (who does quantitative political science) walks into the grad lounge. I am the only person present. In greeting, he says to me:

"Julia, I'm always happy to see you, but what I really need right now is someone who can explain multi-nomial logit to me."

Hey, I can explain that!

Don't they make theory people take a quant methods course or something?

No, they do not. Honestly, what would I ever do with a multinomial logit? I can read a graph, and I had a friend explain regressions to me. I'm covered.
