  well it still goes back to the original arguement that it has to be published and reproducible.

  else it would be forgotten and “re-discovered” again at a later stage.

  some scientific discoveries of the mordern era were actually discovered by earlier ancient people before mordern science started recording such discoveries.

    Does it have to be a new discovery to qualify as “science”?

    The second, implied part, is that writing it down is for OTHER people to learn from.

    So, although I hate the eletist gatekeeping language… I think I agree more with the professional scientist than I do the professional clown.

    Corollary: If it can’t be reproduced you’ve failed to write down something critical.

    That is to say, it’s fucking around and, if you’re good at it, finding out.
