And what if you become a pediatric neurosurgeon only to tell the mother of the 3 year old who just died of a brain aneurism that you were just hoping her daughter's tumor would go away? Scientists have developed a way to investigate and learn about our physical world that is not perfect, but has helped us make huge advances in medicine, communications, technology and safety. Also, if your goal is not just to solve the problem, but to figure it out to prevent it from happening again, you need to be specific and isolate the solution.

He would mark a score at the top and hand it back without really looking at the answers.
