Okay, I love "scientific method LARP"! Granted it is a bit elitist but still, conveys a solid point. As a counter point, was Edward Jenner[1] a LARPer or a scientist? Follow up question, was his net contribution to science "big" or "small"?

- Imnimo 6y agoJenner was living in the 1700s and was doing the best he could with the tools of the time. Still, his report included 20+ people, included challenge results in which subjects were exposed to smallpox to verify their immunity. If the role models for this exercise are all from the 18th century, that should ring some alarm bells.
