Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life.

While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

I believe I have this pdf on my computer somewhere and every time I scroll past it I wonder what it's about. I always think it's someone angry at the software company but seeing it here I'm pretty sure it must be this paper.
Thanks for posting it. Skimming the content I think there are some arguments in it, that I can agree with but I'll have to give it a closer read before I can form an opinion. The title is hard to beat and I love that it got published this way. Seems fitting.
As a non-native speaker I have never heard of nuance in the context of sociological research. Google mostly redirects to this exact paper or references about it. I figure it has something to do with precision of description. Could someone enlighten me?
