Asking of the Designer what we would of any other designer (The atheist delusion)

The important lesson from the prof was this: science is advanced by studying the outliers, the abnormal cases. By studying abnormal universes (even if we can't visit them) they may uncover anomalies that could give us the information we need to resolve quantum and classical mechanics without needing to resort to more outlandish theories.

> You have a point if what is obtained is valid information. To paraphrase you, so little time so many papers to publish to obtain tenure. What is more worthwhile a subject, the imaginary or the real? 
> -If our models are so fantastic, they aren't so imaginary...-> In many ways I am as skeptical as you are. I don't like perpetual tenure, and I think peer review is a disaster. I know, I'm an old fart, who thinks the olden days were better.-You guys didn't have peer review? -I think things would be prompted to change more frequently if Tenure was always tenuous. But traditional peer review is unravelling... the internet allows anyone to publish papers, bypassing review, and allowing technical experts who aren't on the review panels to have access. It's already been happening in Computer Science for some time, there are very few journals for Computer Science.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
