- The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.
- The steps of the scientific method are to:
- Ask a Question
- Do Background Research
- Construct a Hypothesis
- Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
- Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
- Communicate Your Results
I'm looking for the step that says "Discount any research that comes from a source that has been known to disagree with any prior conclusions". It must be nice to never be wrong.
The pursuit of a personal favorite philosophy that I value will be unnecessarily impeded if, rather than responding with an intelligent argument, posters are attacked for their past disagreements versus their current arguments, resulting in their unwillingness to participate: "Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt".
I'd rather read a post that I disagree with than no post at all......but maybe that's just me. Some people came here hoping to escape bullshit like this, which is readily available elsewhere: "I would personally like to welcome back Steady_On to the board. If it hadn't been for his posts, I would have never realized what a trustworthy, honest and selfless individual John Bordynuik really is. Proof that he is other than honest and praiseworthy notwithstanding, I for one, welcome the incisive due diligence and open minded approach he has taken when seeking the truth. He certainly is a fount of information when it comes to John Bordynuik's nature and philosophy. "Let no baggie be left behind" is the logo beneath the image of the ostriches I believe. And the company oath administered to all employees " No informative PR's or private posts on Twitter or Facebook or blog messages revealing what a miserable failure we really are' are allowed. We can thank Steady_On for that picture indelibly etched in our minds.
I attempted to find an audio file of the sound of one hand clapping but all I could come up with was the sound of a combination of gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) that travels from a person's stomach to their anus.
Pffffftttttttttttttttttttttt! Way to go Steady !" |
"Steady PM'd me to say that he thinks I am being used. The stuff I posted, like I have known since mid-2010... right on Steady.. thanks for the heads-up... ROFL."
"Uh oh, he has caught our act."
Keep it up. My personal favorite philosophy gets more support with every slur. |
