Quote:Imagine if science worked like some of these artists think their business should work. "ALL the evidence isn't in yet. We should never have published our results because they just looked at it and criticized parts of it. We should only show them when it's completely finished." Of course, science is NEVER finished. It just keeps going and going, every now and then new tests are replicated with minor adjustments, all to constantly refine our knowledge. There is no such thing as "all the evidence", in the same way it is silly to say "let's wait until ALL the humans are born, all of them".
It's always good to show your work of art to a crowd so you can get some sort of opinion on what you are doing to see if you need to change something.
Exactly, it's absurd. The world doesn't work like that, and he should know that... probably does, but is too annoyed to admit it. :)
