1 Adam: If we're going to blow stuff up for a living, we need to take lots of physics and chemistry classes.
2 Adam: We need a thorough grounding in the principles of the Scientific Method.
3 Jamie: What for?
4 Adam: So we can maintain credibility when we yell, "For science!" and cackle maniacally.

For Science!

Oh. Oops. I've already linked to that TV Tropes page before.

Oh well. After all, it's for science!

2022-07-23 Rerun commentary: I learnt recently that not only is there a scientific method, there's also a historical method for studying history. Which kind of makes sense in hindsight. Perhaps I wasn't previously aware of it because I never really studied history formally, and only developed an interest in it later in life.

Now I wonder if there is a literary method^[1], or a musical method, or a geographic method.
