Thoughts for the day (i)

Science is an exacting, meticulous process of continuously discovering that most of what we think we know about the universe is wrong, discarding it, and replacing it with something incrementally closer to the truth as measured by how much of the universe it manages to successfully and self-consistently explain.

Also, "Truth" is "Whatever produces the best results". What's true today is true provisionally, until something that's more true (or less wrong) comes along.

Perfection is the enemy of 'good enough'.

Seriously... you felt the need to post 2 different comments to try and wage a semantics war in order to pretend you know more than I do? Yeah... okay, I'll rise to that bait.

Or not.

Thank you Mr. Webster, I'll stick with the real dictionary.

I think you could have been more of a dick with that response. Please, put a little effort into it next time; perhaps you could insult my mother or cast aspersions on the nature of my relationship with my cats.

I'm certain you could do better, so I'm only giving you 5/10.

I could've been more of a dick - if I were a guy - but since I'm not, I'll just leave that up to you. Care to add another comment so you can prove you have one?

Dickery is pretty irrespective of gender. I calls it as I sees it.

Why did you feel the need to start a flame war here? I don't see any "pretense of knowing more than you" here, just a statement of opinion.

I'm freezing this thread before it gets any pettier. Play nice, please.
