First, you need to understand the concept of truthiness. Now that you've read about that, imagine that it doesn't just apply to our favorite ne'r-do-smart, but to hard science as well. I know a guy who uses truthy science. That is, he asserts things as true because they should be true. Never mind the facts, if something is conceptually easy, then the implementation must, per force, be easy as well.

Your opinions are welcome!
