Just out of curiosity: What's your criteria for deciding who is a
scientist?
Given that "science" now covers such topics as political science and
creation science...I'd probably be a stickler and say that you're a
scientist only if you've gotten your Ph.D. or equivalent in the
physical, biological, or mathematical sciences, and/or publish in these
fields in recognized journals, or do audited research in these fields.
("Audited" in this case means the work could be refereed, e.g. by
publication, or by the Stine test: it works or it doesn't work).
So, off the top of my head we have: Asimov, Benford, Brin, Clarke,
Pournelle (I think...can't recall his CV precisely), "John Taine", and
a few others.
