ABSTRACT
Unless these facts are appreciated science degenerates into mere scholarship
and its study has a narrowing instead of a broadening effect on the mind.
(Holmstrom, 1947)
Science is a discourse. The “stuff of science” resides not solely in data and variables,
in hypothesis and observation-but in ideas and reasoning, in reflection and critique,
and in conversational interactions among scientists who aspire to explain the world.
