On Research

One quick note.

In my experience, there are two types of research. When given an experiment with unexpected results...one asks why didn't I get the desired product. The second asks why did I get what I got. The difference is more than just semantics, it is methodology/ philosophy. One is result driven, the other is process driven. I prefer the latter, engineering in general prefers the former.
