Arbitrary exclusion. Yeah, of arbitrary exclusion. That's right. That's right. And, for example, one thing you might—one might think if one had a little bit of knowledge is that, especially in the social sciences and humanities, but really in academia writ large, there's hardly anyone who is not left of center. I mean, the range goes from sort of center-left to the far, far left. I have a—

No one disagrees with that claim. Well, so Nate Honeycutt, my former student, he's now a research scientist at FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, did a dissertation on this. He surveyed almost 2,000 faculty nationwide at the top colleges and universities and found that

I don't know if you could go that far because he looked at the top colleges and universities. If you wanted to generalize to all colleges and universities, you would have to include community colleges and, you know, primarily liberal arts.
