- joshuamorton 4y agoPosition papers are exceedingly common. Common enough that there's a term for them.
- jasmer 4y agoScience is 80% discussion, opining, thinking, reading etc.
- janalsncm 4y agoA lot of areas are made up of those things. Theology, for example. What sets science apart is testable hypotheses.
