13 out of 13 right.
I guess I paid attention in High School and College! Oh and I went to school before computers were every kids modern toy. The first computer that I worked on at Boeing in the late 70's was the PDP 1170 mainframe with 7 terminals in an airconditioned room. When my home decktop acts up I tell my 14 year old to fix it if he wants to use it.

"In 1960, Hess made his single most important contribution, which is regarded as part of the major advance in geologic science of the 20th century. In a widely circulated report to the Office of Naval Research, he advanced the theory, now generally accepted, that the Earth's crust moved laterally away from long, volcanically active oceanic ridges."
"He only understood his ocean floor profiles across the North Pacific Ocean after Bruce Heezen (1953, Lamont Group) discovered the Great Global Rift, running along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge."
"Seafloor spreading, as the process was later named, helped establish Alfred Wegener's earlier (but generally dismissed at the time) concept of continental drift as scientifically respectable. This triggered a revolution in the earth sciences."
Hess's report [in his preface he called it "geo-poetry"] was formally published in his History of Ocean Basins (1962) ... which for a time was the single most referenced work in solid-earth geophysics."
in his life ... Hess demonstrated the best attributes of a good scientist ... he used the work of earlier contributors to further his own understanding and thus help further the understanding of others in the field

most working engineers that i'm acquainted with are largely free of delusions of grandeur and prefer not to "fudge" the data to serve some pre-conceived notion
notice ... i write "working engineers" ... the accolades no longer apply when engineers are promoted to management
at that point most of them lose their skills and become self-serving fatheads

i just think most so-called scientists are self-serving fatheads who deserve a good kicking now and then ... mostly now ... and plenty of it

to begin to doubt about much of what I'd been indoctrinated with ... when you knock the props out from under the "creation of life" fraud perpetrated by science ... then you begin to realize that much of what they teach as fact is mostly "blue sky theory" without much basis in fact
to make science even more ridiculous one only has to look at the debacle of the treatment of Alfred Wegener
here was a man with an idea ... and the scientific data that supported his idea ... but established science ridiculed him and made him a laughingstock
that is until Harry Hammond Hess showed them that Wegener was on the right track ... and though he didn't have a "prime mover" for his idea ... the original idea was sound and it was the establishment scientists who ... should have ... been embarrassed
and that's the way of the world with science ... the establishment learn a certain set of "truths" and accept those "truths" as dogma without question
and ... should a person not within the field of study have an idea about how something works ... most likely that person is heaped with ridicule for no better reason than he's not part of the "in crowd"
I've seen "higher education" from the inside and ... for the most part ... the "professors" who professed themselves capable of teaching me ... were rote repeating buffoons who'd never had an original thought and could barely articulate what they'd been taught ... an "old boy" network all out to protect their status and privilege
