It's no secret that there are two types of people in this world: people who insist on building false dichotomies, and people who don't. At Stanford, we famously offer two flavors of student: "techies" (or scientists) and "fuzzies" (or humanists). The distinction is an indelicate tool used to group new students, legitimize (or denigrate) entire branches of scholarship, and as a rough self-identification.
