Above was your post. The impression I get from your sarcasm is that biology
as a major is the second most popular in your eyes. Therefore, passion for
the field not necessarily associated with it since there are so many people
who go into it. Maybe that is just me reading into and open ended comment.
Yes, biology might not have much initial accountability, but it is peer
reviewed which tends to steer it in the right direction. You don't
contribute much to the common good if you don't have others agreeing with
you.
