Names of places in Croatia

I don't care either. Those things do not affect the main conclusion of my paper.

You miss my point. I don’t care about your paper at all. I don’t care about the details or the conclusion. I don’t care about your p-values or place names in Croatia. I don’t care that you were published or that you’ve found a handful of people who agree with you. I don’t care if your conclusions are right, wrong, or somewhere in between.

I. Don’t. Care.

I don't know if this is inappropriate, and if it is I apologise to FlatAssembler for bringing it up (and also, to be clear, I'm not attacking you here, just bringing this up because it seems relevant), but then many in my life have suggested I may also be on the Autistic/Asperger's spectrum albeit "high functioning" (though never diagnosed), but it seems to me that this could be related to that. Ie a) obsessive interest in often niche subjects, and b) a common trait of Autism apparently being to have variable levels of difficulty understanding other people's perspectives etc, due to deficits in creating a 'theory of mind' of others' mental states, including their levels of interest etc.

In my own case I'm sure you've read my walls of text and thought either 'what a load of bollocks' and/or 'no one cares' (not just you, I mean anyone... and not necessarily about everything I write but at least some), and the extent that I can theorise that that's what you do or might think speaks to my ability to create 'theories of mind'... which overall seems pretty good or at least adequate (which might equate to 'high functioning'), but nonetheless I do think I still have deficits in that area, often - due to a certain rigidness in my thinking - assuming interest and/or understanding that probably in many cases isn't there.
