Why is medecine the only subject that requires such a thing?
- erichocean 7y agoIt's an anti-engineering bias. In the real world, science comes after engineering has succeeded to explain why (and ideally, how) something the engineers are doing successfully actually works. To validate the "science", you then test what the scientists came up with by taking their "why/how" explanation and doing some new engineering based on it. If the new engineering also works, the science is solid. If it fails, the science is wrong. In both cases though: the original approach is still successful for the engineers. I wish we had an "I Fucking Love Engineering" crowd. Would solve a lot of problems with how people think about the world, and the advancement of knowledge in general.
