Editing Doubly-Scientific Method (section)

<blockquote>
''I am a fan of something I call the '''Doubly Scientific Method'''. The usual scientific method makes a hidden assumption that it never voices, which is if we're going to study orcas, we assume that we are smarter than orcas, or if we're going to study cephalopods, right, like an octopus. We think we're smarter. And what do we do? We disguise ourselves we create artificial environments. We do all sorts of crazy things based on the fact that we're smarter than what we study, from everything from rocks to Orcas. The Doubly Scientific Method says, okay, assume that you're studying a rat in a maze but you yourself are the rat in somebody else's maze. Now you have to look up the intelligence scale, not just down, and in the Doubly Scientific Method, you have to assume that whatever is studying you is hiding from you the way you are hiding from your subjects. So if you see somebody in a duck blind, for example, and he's studying ducks, you understand that somebody may be hiding from you and they might be able to use multiple dimensions of time, they might be able to cloak themselves and disguise themselves.''
