This is hilarious, his alternative is basically "I calls them like I see them, facts be damned!"
Why bother formulating some protocal to eliminate tester bias when that might run the risk of disproving your hypothesis? Pfft! That's the problem with the scientific method! They can't prove the amazing things I can with my new method! For example, lead floats on water! I proved it, right there! Let's see "scientists" do that!
I'll prove my postulate true if it's the last thing I do!
Comedy gold. Love the onion.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
