Mark seems to be thinking of something like the checklist that the ISP technician walks through when you call with a problem. Even when you know what the problem is, the tech won't listen. He insists on working through his checklist, making you do all the irrelevant checks, eventually by a process of elimination, ending up with what you knew was wrong all along. Very little GI required. But Ben is saying that for evaluating science, there ain't no such checklist. The circumstances are too variable, you would need checklists to infinity. I go along with Ben.
