I'm being a cranky grump today (not much sleep, which makes me more reactive), but I note with a cynical eye that people point out the Famous Exceptions -- and toss everyone else into the "never heard of them, therefore they're all rigid thinkers and stuck in the box thinking."
The alchemy of yore wasn't what we think of today, and the idea that alchemy was a huge impact on science isn't well thought out and ignores scientists of a much earlier age, including Aristotle and Hero of Alexandria (among many others) who shaped and formed science.
...but mostly I'm tired of hearing this about scientists by people using tools created by scientists on a platform that was created by scientists using electrical energy created by machines designed by scientists and components designed by scientists.
I'mma gonna go pet my cat now. She's not a scientist, but she appreciates me, as long as I clean the litterbox and feed her.
