How common do the ideas need to be? Does the scientific method count?

I think deciding whether or not to do a controlled experiment for a question that you have is a fairly complex question. Most of the time in our life when we face questions we don't use the scientific method to answer them.

Well, ideally some of the ideas would be non-obvious. I think the scientific method would count.
