People tend to be satisfied with shallow explanations [Gelman]
     Full Idea: People tend to be satisfied with rather shallow explanations.
     From: Susan A. Gelman (The Essential Child [2003], 06 'Is essentialism')
     A reaction: She cites some psychological research to support this. Pretty obvious really. I take the so-called 'scientific method' to be nothing more than ceasing to be satisfied with such shallowness.
