And winding up with a result seems sound.

You could just as easily start with the result and search for questions.

it may be the answer too…

Or you could focus on the rigorous testing,

resolving every variable,

narrowing down a methodology to a set protocol…

then go looking for things to test it with.

There is no one way,

best way,

only way to do science…

We know that people have been doing science

Since long before science was a thing that people knew they were doing…
