I also think it must be nice to be in a field in which you can put forth theories and not have to be worried about being proven wrong <
Some stand-up comedian - I forget who - has a routine about that. “I’d love to be a biologist,” he says. “I’d announce that there are 845,215 different species of beetles. Who could prove me wrong?”
Me! 845,214! I just stepped on the last ringed black spotted yellow tiger beetle!
