Scientists are committed to the scientific method as a way of making sense of nature.
It is a powerful way for us to understand and master the complexities of the world around us. The successes of science are renowned and scarcely a week goes by without some new and important progress. The attraction of the scientific method goes beyond its tremendous power and scope to its uncompromising honesty. Every new discovery or theory is required to pass rigorous tests of approval by the scientific community before it is accepted. Of course in practice, scientists don't always follow textbook strategies.
