So, ladies. I have a burning question, which I am asking for no reason at all. [Uh huh.]What's your vote for

[Robert would have asked how Jack Horner's personality could be described as anything other than "obnoxious, rude and abrasive", but that last part distracts his attention.]

... "Gay vibe"?

Exactly what is a "gay vibe"? [This is said with a disbelieving tone, because Robert's ego still stings from having his heterosexism rant on the other thread ignored and this sounds pretty damn heterosexist.]

And where exactly do you get it from? [Gaydar is not a concept that Robert is familiar with. Even if he's gay himself.]

That is quite true. However, generally, when something is difficult to research and discover, that makes the process as a whole more rewarding and necessary to undergo. [Robert's reminded of the Great Cleansing when he says this.]

Sometimes. Sometimes it's still just a pain and everything goes to hell because it was all just a trap to make you think it was worthwhile.

Well.

Perhaps even science itself is different. But... Terran scientists rarely are stymied by research not progressing to the conclusion one would be expecting.

Maybe their hypotheses are wrong?

Re: [Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

It is indeed possible. But a flawed hypothesis only becomes apparent through the evidence collected - hence why there is no such thing as a failed experiment. It simply means that one's hypothesis may need refinement or correction.

I guess so.
