What's the relation between the "scientific industry" and science? I tend to say it's orthogonal.

To arrive at the simplest truth, as Newton knew and practiced, requires years of contemplation. Not activity. Not reasoning. Not calculating. Not busy behaviour of any kind. Not reading. Not talking. Not making an effort. Not thinking. Simply bearing in mind what it is one needs to know

Uh huh. So you're going to understand cancer treatments just by thinking really hard?

Probably by contemplating the results of a double-blinded clinical trial.
