Science


Over at Notional Slurry, Bill Tozier has a nice post, in which he defines 'science' as 'a way of quickly recovering from stupidity'.

[...] We as scientists expect people to be wrong, including ourselves. The scientific process is not about finding the truth, but rather noticing and recovering from the stupid mistakes we make, faster and better than anybody else can.
