      An abstract study has yet to be implemented. You cannot run an abstract study on it’s own. Otherwise, it can be about anything.

      It’s just a study done on a higher abstraction level. Like looking at CPU as a collection of logic gates instead of transistors. Or programming in C instead of assembly.

      A summary of a scientific paper is called an abstract, it’s a stripped down version of what the paper is covering.

      The joke is that this person is not scientifically literate enough to understand that “abstract” in this context has a different meaning than in other fields of study like art
