When you want to be remembered as an accomplished engineer/scientist, but will forever be remembered as "the guy who blew crap up"

A lot of their tests after the first few seasons were extremely unscientific. They ran out of good myths to bust.

teedoubler (01/12/2016) [-] Most of their tests were plenty scientific. 'Unscientific' is a really vague way to describe something. You can test something silly, but as long as you're following the proper methodology, you are being 'scientific.' If anything, they got a bit better at the scientific parts at things went on, even though they were definitely testing sillier and sillier things.
The only things they occasionally lacked in the 'scientific' department are sample size and elimination of extraneous variables.

NOUN
a skilful contriver or originator of something:
"the prime engineer of the approach"
They fit the bill. Also, Jamie has a degree in engineering so you're just wrong.

brobathehutt (01/12/2016) [-] A good way to be remembered as an accomplished engineer/scientist is being an engineer or scientist, they're not trying to be scientists or engineers and they've said this a lot, they're basically taking things that are already known and demonstrating it in a badass way. They don't want to be known as scientists or engineers, but they do hope they inspire more people to scientists and engineers.

Riukanojutsu (01/12/2016) [-] Maybe saying "In doubt, use C4" was not the way to go to be remembered for being a good engineer/scientist

sgtmajjohnson (01/12/2016) [-] I would say the inventor of Rice Krispies, aka J. Robert Oppenheimer, is more famed for blowing stuff up as opposed to physics then Einstein is.

jonandstuff (01/12/2016) [-] I agree with you, but most people might not know Oppenheimer as well as the easier to remember Einstein. I think the reason the general public know Einstein so much better is because his name is the word for being smart. Baby Einstein, and etc.
I love Oppenheimer though, cool guy, to say the least.

sgtmajjohnson (01/12/2016) [-] Oh, yeah. I'm not saying Oppenheimer's as well known as Einstein, just that he's more famed exclusively for blowing **** up, while Einstein's known for special relativity and all that.
