(in)validity of beautycheck — social perception

By nfhall

Beautycheck — Social perception is a silly website and a sillier study. Because it is silly, I will use the magic irony and compose a haiku to demonstrate my feelings. You kids at home can put on your irony hats and write a haiku as well. Ready!!???

from whence does it suck?
unsound methodology
and irrelevance.

now, a limerick:

they sought to test examine beauty
but this science is nothing but fruity
it should be understood,
the morphing software is good
but the research smells quite like tooty

The first sentence of the Summary section pretty much says it all:

“The face of a person can tell us everything.” about what? a skin condition? are we back in physiognomy? did we just take science back to 200 years before the enlightenment? Are rhetorical questions suitable for addressing this topic? What more can one say?
