  1. science "mysteries": a slashdot myth by tps12 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Okay, I am sick of this. Any article about scientific research that runs on slashdot always has to refer to the problem as a "mystery."

    Now I understand they might be a little over CmdrTaco's head, but come on, it's not like these "mysteries" are going to be solved by Inspector Gadget or anything.

    It's not "mysterious" or "magical." There's no "witchcraft" involved. It's science: hard work and research. A flash of inspiration.

    Pick up a cheap paperback if you want mystery. Here on slashdot we deal with facts and cold hard proof.
