    I like to think of people who do research for speed runners are more like scientists. Also the people who make video essays for YouTube are a lot like scientists. Take this vid for example. We have the context, we have the background on why it's important. We have a method (talking to people and asking for connections) and we ultimately get a conclusion. The rest of science is just letters to the editor arguing about "well, what if he's wrong?" I've seen many figures in scientific articles that are just confirming that a hypothesis is sound in different cell lines.
