[quote=@thewizardguy] [@Feisty-Pants] I disagree. Science is not simply the sum of scientific knowledge, but it is a method. A state of mind. Science is the act of observing the world, and trying to learn from it. It is an art as old as mankind. [/quote] Indeed, however, with out the ability to permanently record, where would science go? That is where writing is absolutely instrumental.
