"Science is not the answer, it is the question."
The best example I know of the scientific approach as it SHOULD be practiced came from a guy considered to be the world's foremost expert on Saturn, just as the imagery was coming back from the first Voyager.
He was transported with joy.
"EVERY thing we thought we knew about Saturn is WRONG!!!"
Every belief and theory that gave him status and prestige was proven wrong.
He was starting his whole career over, almost from scratch.
Any grad student had as good a chance of getting his or her name on the correct theories as he did.
But he was delighted, because now he had a chance to learn it all again, right, and discover more things about his favorite planet - truer things, this time.
He looked like someone about to do his honeymoon over again, but better this time.
