Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

Isn’t it great to admit mistakes? Some say it takes maturity

That's what makes science great. They are true at times with current knowledge and equipment's capabilities. Then we found out that was not correct or not truly correct, we improve our record and repeat. Science never stops expanding for even a day.

It isn't that science is wrong. It is that science updates what it knows, when it learns what was believed to be true was incorrect. For thousands of years, many believed that because the old testament said insects had 4 legs, that the extra two appendages were non functional. But when someone realised the ancients were wrong, they changed their minds.

Nah double down when you're wrong or YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE

That's how science works.

You make a theory and test it and if everyone tests it too and you were right it becomes considered a scientific fact.

But if someone proves that you were wrong. Even thousands of years later we get to say we learned something new and previous research was wrong.

You don’t really grasp the concept of science, do you?

Imagine thinking the literal scientific method makes science obsolete and deserving of quotations as if it’s not a real thing.

Science is never right or wrong. It’s just observations.

So many people that just dont listen.

But what does the fox say??

This is so funny to me. Do you really think this way? I'd love to pick your brain.

You understand that it was a scientific process that discovered the animals do make sound, right...?

But the incest babies extra appendages are non functional. Clearly it was just a typo

What? My daughter can use her tail to grab things. It's not very useful because it's really short, but it is functional.

Which daughter? The first one or the one that's also your daughter's mother

My tortoises hiss at me when i get too close

According to the article, it seems like we never really bothered measuring the sounds because they weren't clearly audible to human ears like birds or dogs are.

> But what does the fox say??

The Fox says "Let's cancel Firefly."

Sshh... Cthulu f'tang...

I guess I kind of always assumed that we were dissecting these animals to see if they had a voice box or not... It's not like animals can just magically make mouth sounds right?

most humans are dead also

I know there’s an answer

So you and God have something going?

Wouldn’t it be nice

Wanted to work Sloop John B into this but it isn't a real rejoinder
