every time I bump up against physical geography anything (less than you might think, which is part of the thing), I marvel anew at how it is apparently possible to get a whole damn PhD and not learn a single freaking thing about half the field.
Many NON geographers know FAR MORE about physical geography than I, presumptively becoming a member of the discipline, EVER WILL.
Geography is particularly weird in its physical/cultural schism, but are there other fields where this happens?
