“If you’re doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid — not only what you think is right about it. Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them.”
~ Richard Feynman, “Cargo Cult Science”
A lesson that workers of all disciplines should heed.

See you tomorrow!
Feynman strikes me as a true Renaissance Man. He was as much the philosopher as he was the scientist. Of course he was a bunch of other things as well.
