So if I punch you on the nose to investigate whether a dependent variable called pain appears, and I use several punches of different strengths called independent variables in a controlled experiment to see what level of pain will cause you to shut up - I am a scientist ;-)

And I shall then pin a card to your chest saying:

Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any systematic knowledge that is capable of resulting in a correct prediction or reliable outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique, technology, or practice.

Should I correct you or just let this pass?  So many errors.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

So I'm doing science when I'm watching cyberporn and playing with my pud ... "a highly skilled technique"?

Xenobiology?

If you go to Wiki and look up xenobiology you are directed to astrobiology:

Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.

Well that explains everything, at least, all my jacking off. I knew I wasn't just enjoying myself, that there was "a higher purpose".

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
