The "scientific method" does not exist in reality, that is to say, in a pure sense, as contemplated in your post below. All we have in the real world are imperfect attempts at it. If it were more transparent to the public (as is our court system) we would all acknowledge this fact. Leo ------------------------------------------------------------------------
