Starts with a promisingly astute observation: “It would be so tedious for you, wouldn’t it, to have your research interrupted every so often by cultists wanting to worship the thing you were studying? In my department, now, we don’t have such problems.” “Good heavens, Harriet—you study money! All sorts of people worship that.”
(In STEM, we get crackpots, but our cultists are usually violently denying our findings instead of worshipping them.)
