TheSnail BS: Well, I'm not a scientist... (237* d) RE: BS: Well, I'm not a scientist... 16 Dec 14


Ah well, Stu, it seems I can't shake your faith in the Megalab Snail Hunt even though it comes from a course you say was really terrible and totally lacking in scientific vigour. I still don't think it shows me evolution in my backyard.

By all means challenge everything but describing something as fuzzy isn't challenging, it's just brushing aside something you find inconvenient. As you advance in your field you won't just have to convince yourself but others as well and if you challenge orthodoxy you will have to put up a very good case. "Fuzzy" won't hack it. Barring the occasional revolution , science advances by building on what's there. Newton wrote " If I have seen further it is by standing on the sholders of Giants."
