who knew that scinece was such an exact science? No, wait... who knew that some believe that science is not empirically conclusive unless proven to be so by a peer review of like-funded investigators supported by the efforts of neophyte undergrads still struggling with their own theories about how money gravitates towards a singularity of status quo bounded by a matrix of potential that inevitably succumbs to the entropic force that maintains the stasis of what is at any given instant?
Or is that just me? I dare anyone to prove me wrong!
