What's the big stink here? Why is it considered the greatest method of experimenting when it is inheritly flawed in that it doesn't allow for patterns of any typ, and that it restricts definitions to that of an individual scientist?

I don't understand what is meant. Explicate (preferably with real or realistic examples, etc.)

Doesn't allow for patterns? Then what's all this "repeatable experiments" they're always going on about?

Opinion of a single scientist? Ever heard of peer review?

Meh, I think you know nothing about the scientific method.

Chemists do it periodically on tables.

Biologists do it naturally and selectively?

Astronomers do it in the dark?

Linguists do it with tongues!

Whose puppet troll is Nerdy Individuals?
He's just popped up today and is posting all sorts of dumb, reactionary shit.
Obviously it's someone who has been posting here already - how many of us, within minutes of creating a nation, were making threads about anything, let alone ones guaranteed to get ppl arguing?

Maybe we should have a poll and try to guess who's puppet troll he is.

I think Drunk Commies. He did a fine job with Jesussaves and maybe he feels it's time to ressurect him.

Your thoughts?

Could be him, or maybe someone like Corny.

Naw, Corny's not bright enough to get away with something like this.

Mathematicians do it with a pencil.

Statisticians and Probabilists might do it. Or they might not.

Algebraists do it variably.
