    Assuming you’re a student, have you ever tried to write up a lab report from multiple arguments using the same experiment? It’s a fun exercise in the potential for politics in science because it shows how you can capture and use the same data to argue diametrically opposing points.

          Always. Knowledge and memes are meant to be shared.

      There is a philosophical distinction between the essence of science and the human application of scientific method. It’s not that important a distinction in practice, but I don’t refrain from pedantry when replying to people who for some reason can’t bring themselves to post in a political memes community.
