Panel 1
Man: So, are you a Type-A or Type-B personality?
Woman: I guess I'm more Type-A...
Stamp: WRONG
Panel 2
Man: The Type-A/Type-B framework is not accepted by modern science, nor comes from a non-double-blind study of a small all-male group.
Panel 3
Woman: Anyway, so, what type of learner am I? Visual? Tactile?
Man (thinking): Oh, I'm in such a visual mood the other day. I-
Stamp: WRONG
Panel 4
Man: The "modes of learning" theory is unsubstantiated. There's no good evidence that matching one type of learning with that type of teaching produces better learning outcomes.
Panel 5
Woman: Yeah, so, are you more right-brain or left-brain?
Man: Wha-
Stamp: WRONG AGAIN!
Panel 6
Man: There's no strong evidence supporting the notion that certain learning types happen only in one hemisphere of the brain.
Panel 7
Woman: Do you always do this on first dates?
Panel 8
Woman: Well, ever since I was little, I've been skeptical. I remember-
Stamp: WRONG
Panel 9
Man: Long-term memories, especially those from childhood, are likely to be incorrect.
Panel 10
(The man and woman look at each other silently.)
Panel 11 (caption: LATER)
Woman: This is the best sex of my life!
Man: That's statistically unlikely for first sexual encounters.
Woman: GRRAAHH! HAHAHA

An eleven-panel SMBC comic depicting a first date between a man with glasses and a woman, in which the man pedantically debunks every framework the woman brings up. In panel 1 she says she's more Type-A; a red WRONG stamp appears as he explains the Type-A/Type-B framework isn't accepted by modern science. She asks what type of learner she is (visual? tactile?); WRONG again, the "modes of learning" theory is unsubstantiated. She asks if he's right-brain or left-brain; WRONG AGAIN, there's no evidence learning types are confined to one hemisphere. She asks if he always does this on first dates, then says she's been skeptical since she was little; WRONG, because long-term childhood memories are likely incorrect. The two sit silently. In a final panel labeled LATER, the woman in bed exclaims 'This is the best sex of my life!' and the man replies 'That's statistically unlikely for first sexual encounters,' to which she screams GRRAAHH! while laughing. The votey shows a close-up of a red-haired bearded man wearing white sunglasses and grimacing, under a banner reading 'HATEMAIL GOGGLES ENGAGED.'
