Dumb article. (Score 1)

I'll sum up here what I said there. - Astrology is not a "spiritual belief". It's an ordinary belief. (Specifically, a misguided superstition). - Hiring on the basis of grades and test scores is not a "ridiculous heuristic". These reflect on students' motivation and inherent aptitude; in the absence of more meaningful data, they're the most useful metrics available. - Obsessive compulsives may harbor strange beliefs, but those beliefs stem from an anxiety disorder. Last time I checked, astrology wasn't mentioned in the DSM-IV. (Perhaps it should be.) To sum up, the article is stupid. Deciding whether to date someone who believes in astrology is a personal decision; there is no "right" or "wrong" choice.
