On March 19, 2019 at his Bad Astronomy blog Phil Plait
posted about My TED talk: Science learns by making mistakes…and admitting them.
A revised version of his TEDx talk titled The secret to scientific discoveries?
Making mistakes posted at the main TED web site. On July 12, 2018 I had blogged
about the previous version in a post titled Failing upwards.
Phil’s blog post mentions that his back had been bothering
him, so he took a pain medication which had the unfortunate side effect of
giving him a dry mouth.
Some otherwise intelligent people don’t understand that
science isn’t just ‘facts.’ For a recent example see Jane Genova’s March 23,
2019 silly blog post titled Facts – smirk.
