货物崇拜
P1: Cargo cult is a religious movement happened following World War two, as members of tribal society starred to get contact with some new manufacturing products through the war. And the local residents can not understand how this products have been made, so they concluded those cargoes had come through some spiritual means. Cargo cult arose for the purpose of attracting more of the products to come to their society.
P2: members of cargo cult commit the fallacy of confusing a necessary condition with a sufficient condition. Thus the term "cargo cult" is used to describe those people who mimic the superficial appearance of a procedure without understanding the underlying purpose, meaning, or function of the procedure.
P3: Feynman, a critic, mentioned that there is cargo cult science also. He gives an example of ruining a rat through a maze. Many researchers continue doing this study and publishing the superficial conclusions of it without noticing the underlying condition of this study.
Author's: introduced the term of cargo cult and explained the meaning, then pointed out a similar cargo cult in science.
