It's almost not worth looking at because there's no way of evaluating that information.
You don't rule it out.
Yeah.
No, no.
I'm saying, look, this is a fascinating thing about the scientific method.
We assume it's the end all.
But clearly it isn't because it fails us over and over again.
And so I went to a 100th reunion of my PhD program at Indiana University, you know, where B.F.
Skinner was there and all these luminaries.
And I was in industry.
And I said, you know...
I've been out 10 years and I think the scientific method is really flawed and limited.
And I said, why?
And I said, because in science, you have to narrow things down so tiny and so narrow to reach a real robust conclusion.
You have to control so much that it becomes inapplicable to the real world where nothing is controlled.
And I said, in my world where I'm in the fighter simulation business and I have to figure out how to make a pilot think he's flying at 20 feet off the ground with very limited cues, there's no science for that.
I just have to try a bunch of shit and see what works.
And I said, I think the method is seriously flawed and limited.
Oh, my God.
So I think that I will give you this.
