Is there a source for these haughty, cackling archeologists making fun of hairdressers or is that just to manufacture some kind of underdog victory scenario?

Meme is dramaticised of course.
If you want an actual example of a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman's expertise, this clip of Joe Rogan will make your blood boil
a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman's expertise
Boy howdy, that's a spot-on description. Never listened to him because I expected it to be trash; but I didn't realize the situation was so dire
Motherfucker leans into sensationalism and shock-value, because he'll be forgotten as soon as he shuts the fuck up—and of course he won't have any useful skills to hold a job with real value afterward. Fucking cowardly shits, afraid to work on something of substance when the fame/infamy runs dry
So yeah, it indeed made my blood boil a little lol. Wish I could say it was mostly pity for him being so... dumb? But nah, that's a person acting like garbage and should be treated as such (until proven otherwise)
The latter. "everybody clapped" clickbait.
Also, why does that have to be the only solution? There were wet things that turned harder when they dried back then, too.
Imagine asking a subject matter expert. What a concept!
And then discounting their opinion.
As an IT guy, a chef, and a jack of all trades and master of few, that happens far more often than I would care to admit. I have literally had people tell me, "Well, yes you know more about [blank} than anyone I've ever met, but your analysis doesn't {make line go up] so it must be wrong, because [line must always go up.}
Fucking Jack Welsh. I wish I could build a time machine and shoot that shortsighted asshole between the eyes just before he laid off his first GM employee in the name of imaginary profit.
...then retired and receive the biggest severance package in history up to that point (417 million in 2001).
I'm an Analyst. The amount of times I've had to tell people how their business works based on the data they had me analyse and prove their own preconceptions wrong...
"I was under the impression it should work that way"
Great! I'll whip up a report showing just how often it doesn't.
"Those are edge cases"
They make up about 35%
"Can we filter them from the final report?"
Then your figures will be way off and I get to justify the error when inevitably someone spots it and will blame the data for it. Fix the issue in the source, if you don't want it screwing up your numbers.
Yup, that's the imaginary part of the story.
That's how you get the bonus points as an uptight academic!

Janet Stephens; that's her. i knew i kept that yt subscription for a reason
Same vibes as this video with Adam Savage. Apparently this piece of armour was a big mystery with tons of different drawings etc trying to place it as horse armour when Adam almost immediately correctly identifies it when first looking at it.
This is the power of diverse experience where experts can have a blind spot that's easily solved by others that have a different perspective.
Tldw crotch protector, and the historians did know that.
Well it took them 50 years to figure out, whereas Adam guessed it immediately.
Didn't they confirm it after 50 years? They had suspicions in different directions, including crotch armor?
I love this story because just imagine the setup.
All the top world archaeologists are in the biggest archaeology summit trying to figure this out. The queer son of the most famous archaeologist was visiting because his dad was trying to make him a real man and follow science instead of fashion. He takes a look at the poorly design slides being project and makes a snarky remark. "they're definitely sewed 💀😭💅". But everyone made fun of him so he took it personally. The next day he came back with an exact replica of the hair style sewed on his bestie's hair. In awe, everyone got up and clapped. The kid's name? Albert fucking Einstein.
Not sure whether you meant to express disbelief or just to be silly, but you did make me wonder if this meme was legit or not. It is!
Definitely just being silly. Thank you do much for the link. I just disliked how dramatized the meme version sounded and doubled down on it.
I guess there had to be a way to have fake-ass hair extensions before plastic was invented.
I read that as "Ass-hair extensions"
....am I missing something? These are stone. They're carved. How did they know these were real styles used with people, and not fantastical for the statues?
Wouldn't fit with the artistical trends of the times... It's not a bad hypothesis, but if that was a trend the hair is not the only feature that could be imagined.
Now I can't stop picturing archeologists unearthing an anime bust.
Future archeologists digging up statues of 2B -
I'd trust a hairdresser when it comes to hair questions… EDIT: Turns out in real life, they did trust the hairdresser, the fact about sewing is true but the overall story is dramatized.
Bad at styling my long hair but I have definitely tried and from what I did in the few hair tutorials I followed, and from knitting, I absolutely believe that making these complicated, pretty, structured knots/loops was done by sewing.
This is why you go to subject matter experts.
