Well, Doc, KZS and Shakesmear of one mind! While scientific cheating may go on, it cannot survive the reproducibility experiments. No one can afford to build on sand. No major experiment will go untested. Paradigm shifts are not so easily attained.

Would have to agree with KZS on social science, although I would not use the pejorative "-" that he used.The major problem with taking a 'scientific' view of social issues is the control of the unexamined variables. It is empiric and therefore to KZS not 'science.' I would say to KZS examine history it is full of empiric (and now verified, pro tem,) observations.

P.S. to be funny KZS you have to have a sense of the ridiculous.
