Assuming you're a student, have you ever tried to write up a lab report from multiple arguments using the same experiment? It's a fun exercise in the potential for politics in science because it shows how you can capture and use the same data to argue diametrically opposing points.

Touche! I'm gonna put this on the "...AND ANOTHER THING!!!" list if you're cool with it

Always. Knowledge and memes are meant to be shared.
