we learned in kittengarten that in science, you make testable predictions, test them, and then see how well your hypothesis aligned with the data you gathered.

so, i guess that’s settled then!

Apparently your kindergarten curriculum is badly out of date. The method of 21st century science is thus:

1. determine the premise to be proven

2. collect data

3. any data points that do not support the premise are declared outliers and removed

4. restate premise as absolute fact

5. collect payment

6. shout down anyone who questions the absolute fact as a denier and anti-science, misinformation and disinformation and take appropriate action to silence them
