Prologue
Scientific knowledge is knowledge obtained
by scientific procedures
Professionals should always use scientific
knowledge to solve their professional
problems
Good professionals is obliged to participate
in scientific development by doing (however
small) research in their relevant field
Science is made of facts
as a house is made of stones
But a bulk of facts
is not necessarily a science
as a mass of stones is not a house
Before you start.
