MODERATORS
If you science in a lab and no one is around to review it did you make a science?
well it still goes back to the original arguement that it has to be published and reproducible.
else it would be forgotten and re-discovered again at a later stage.
some scientific discoveries of the mordern era were actually discovered by earlier ancient people before mordern science started recording such discoveries.
Does it have to be a new discovery to qualify as "science"?
No
The difference between science and fucking around is writing it down - Adam Savage
The second, implied part, is that writing it down is for OTHER people to learn from.
So, although I hate the eletist gatekeeping language.. I think I agree more with the professional scientist than I do the professional clown.
Corollary: If it can't be reproduced you've failed to write down something critical.
That is to say: it's fucking around and, if you're good at it, finding out.
