Any scientist worth his/her sodium chloride wants their papers to run the gauntlet of peer review - that's how errors are found and corrected. It's one of the great triumphs of the scientific method. To illustrate, here's Potholer54 to explain (why do I get the feeling that you won't even watch this?):
Fear not! I did watch it through... I also participate in the analytical method, having to coach a number of folks who think subjective "group grope" passes for analysis of subjects that require objective modeling/simulation and field testing.
Relying on a scientific method to observe and report (as I said, above, to Ant) only answers "HOW", it doesn't address "WHY". And in "HOW", it only confirms behaviors extant. It doesn't explain intial conditions.
DO... or DO NOT... there is no TRY!
