>Money has a great deal of importance to a scientist wishing to study forests and natural, untouched wilderness. It has even more importance to a scientist who wants to build a supercomputer to simulate (over)simplified models of the atmosphere and ocean. It has far more importance (and much more zeroes!) to a scientist who conducts studies on behalf of Energy Industry or for Corporations in said industry. >As for Lewis, I suspect he loves the scientific method. Find data, generate hypothesis, expose your methods to everyone and pray that you spotted all the flaws in your argument/analysis. He expresses anger that this process has been subverted and the APS is trying to ignore it. Well, I guess the only option in that case is to proceed with his own independent study? >scientist who wants to build a supercomputer to simulate (over)simplified models of the atmosphere and ocean So we shall conduct experiments only when we have complete model for everything?
