Cries in standard Psychology PhD programs only require training in regression and ANOVA
I actually don’t think you can be a substantive expert without a certain amount of methodological competence. Otherwise you don’t really have a sense of how to interpret your data or the studies of others. It’s just vibes.

Election 1: I vote for the 49% evil candidate over the 50% evil candidate
Election 2: term-limited out, I now have two new candidates, one 99% evil the other 100%. I vote for the lesser of two evils.
I now have a 50% more evil leader than previously despite voting for the lesser evil every time

It is, fundamentally, an exercise of choosing the lesser evil, over and over and over again, so that the total amount of evil in the system decreases over time.
And you must keep doing it, because - since evil is easy - good is easily reversed.
