A fundamental flaw in science
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not Eureka! (I found it!) but rather, 'hmm... that's funny...'" - Isaac Asimov
Asimov, you poor stuffy bastard. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, and the one that heralds the best discoveries should be "MUAHAHAHAHA! IT WORKS! IT WORKS! THEY LAUGHED AT ME AT THE ACADEMY, BUT NOW I HAVE MY REVENGE!!"
That's what's wrong with science these days. Not enough of that.
