This talk about scholarship and DIY science reminds me of the classical distinction between empiricism and rationalism in philosophy. It seems that we've rightly identified this empiricism/rationalism thing as a false dichotomy here on LW. I'm glad to see the same happening for scholarship and DIY science, now too.
