yuk yuk!

OK, so are stofurz and TruthSeeker actually the same individual using different user names?

On to the quote:

"Because something works does not make it right."

The whole basis of Science is "does it work". The periodic table of the elements was worked out based on "does it work", well before we had any idea about subatomic physics. Chemistry evolved based on determining what worked and what didn't (interestingly enough, carried through by those "crazy" alchemists who wanted to change lead into gold but didn't know anything about the need for nuclear Science to accomplish this, not chemistry).

The only thing that makes any study of anything "right" is whether or not it works. In particular, the scientific method starts with a hypothesis derived from observations of a set of data, followed by testing the hypothesis to see if the hypothesis holds, and then modifying or rejecting the hypothesis as new data are acquired.

In other words, all of the rightness of Science depends on "does it work".

So is that what you really meant to say? Do you really believe that something can fail to work and still be right, scientifically?
