The World According to Dan Brown

Dan Brown does a lot of "research", but it is not what we would consider to be research. He is interested in the world of conspiracy theories, in which NSA is a large subject. This is the common thread going through all of his books.

In German we have two words for research.

"Recherche" which is what journalists and authors do, to find information for Articles and Stories.

And

"Forschung" which is what scientists do with experiments.

I often have the feeling English speaking people like to play with the fact that these things are called the same in English.

It is sad and says a lot that in our society journalists, who are responsible for delivering information to the masses, fall in he first category not the latter.
