GS: You don't really know much about the way
experimental science works, do you?

Not a very helpful response Glen.

Some people who claim to be experimental scientists
like Steven Rose seem to have a low opinion of the
work done by people who call themselves behaviorists.

But no, I am not an experimental scientist, although
I see playing around with programs as a form of
experimenting. I imagine in science an experiment
is used to support or refute some theory.
