Get used to it. I've been out 25 years and they still complain! Although I
refer to myself as a quantitative methodologist, everyone else refers to me
as the resident cynic.

When I was getting my PhD in psychometrics, professors from clinical or
developmental psych would complain about how unreasonable we stats types
were.  Samples were too small. We wanted to see power analyses.  We kept
talking about assumptions being violated......And we did things like
point out that ANOVA and OLS regression are the same model.
