how dare you challenge the assumption?! It's almost like you're questioning perceptions, and we can't have that in an enlightened scientific community. I brand you a heretic and categorically reject your argument.

:/ This helps nothing, mdk. If it's a joke, it's not funny, and otherwise, mocking the scientific community for skepticism is like mocking Vatican city for being populated by Catholics. The interplay between experimentation and skepticism [i]is[/i] science, and without it we'd believe even more stupid shit about ourselves and the universe than we do now.
