Although it does mean that some population geneticists sneer at us when we do population genetics. For some reason population geneticists spend a lot of time sneering at each other.
No lie! And then they all get together over beers and sneer at everybody who ISN'T a population geneticist.

It's probably a good theory. However, it's not our fault. They're the ones who keep coming up with equations it takes a mainframe to make any sense of. After all, we probably wouldn't be in one of the field biology disciplines in the first place if we could handle math more complex than one, two, three, many, lots. I mean, we could all go get real jobs where we weren't forced to hang around on tropical beaches playing frizbee waiting for turtles to come ashore so we can daub florescent paint on their plastrons...
