In Reply to: Such a shallow concept of science, as posted by E-Stat on June 22, 2010 at 19:38:29:
""A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses."
I should point out that listening without knowing the DUT is observation. Meyer and Moran did some testing of a hypothesis. Their report of the tests passed through peer review. So their tests meet the definition you have supplied.
