drawing-conclusions

But you can__ be a scientist if you__e uncomfortable with ignorance, because scientists live at the boundary between what is known and unknown in the cosmos. This is very different from the way journalists portray us. So many articles begin, __cientists now have to go back to the drawing board._ It__ as though we__e sitting in our offices, feet up on our desks__asters of the universe__nd suddenly say, __ops, somebody discovered something!_ No. We__e always at the drawing board. If you__e not at the drawing board, you__e not making discoveries. You__e not a scientist; you__e something else. The public, on the other hand, seems to demand conclusive explanations as they leap without hesitation from statements of abject ignorance to statements of absolute certainty.
