benhocking's Journal: Who are the two groups?

I found this interesting quotation today, and I thought I'd poll you to see if you can guess which "two groups" are being talked about:

Both groups have similar misconceptions about the nature of explanation: they feel that unless you understand everything, you understand nothing.

Here's the source, but no fair looking until after you've made your guess.

My guess

[Marxist Hacker 42]

Fundamentalist Christians and Fundamentalist Moslems

I won't post the reality as this is the first post, but let me state that the two groups I guessed at and the really four groups talked about in the article, have that quote in common with one another.

An interesting barometer

[benhocking]

I won't say (yet) which two groups I thought of, but I think which two groups you think of is somewhat of an interesting barometer into your own biases. (Not that I don't share your biases with respect to the fundamentalists.)

Actually, to a certain extent, this is a danger with most human beings. We need to fight for it to be different (which is why I say that in addition to the two groups mentioned specifically in the article, it also CAN affect more rational belief systems, like Atheistic Science and Catholicism).

Though the two groups mentioned certaily are much further towards the "unrational fundamentalist" side than anything in the rational world. This was the whole point of the Pope's speech at The University at Regensb [zenit.org]

Moo

I chose Men/Women, based on the T/F split [slashdot.org].

Wouldn't that be four groups?

[benhocking]

Men, Women, T, and F? (Either overlapping or Male T, Female T, Male F, Female F).

Talking from a T/F standpoint, male/female would be a slight indicator of prefernece, but not a new axis.
