:The Three Kinds of Scientific Research:
:Cueball (pointing to a scatter plot with a best-fit curve): We applied a standard theory to novel circumstances and got some surprising results.
:Miss Lenhart (pointing to a similar scatter plot): We applied a novel theory to standard circumstances and got some intriguing results.
:Hairy (with leaves in his hair and on his body, pointing to another chart that is covered in random dots and unidentifiable shapes): ''Finally, a map of every tree.''
