“ 1. I can’t lift things I used to.
2. I can’t jump as high as I used to.
3. When I fall down, I hit harder and it hurts more.
4. When I step on the scale, it reads higher than it used to. ”
This would easily pass for scientific research at any university today. If you could somehow get some discrimination against anyone who isn’t straight and white in there you could probably get $millions in grant money.
Oh, I know how to do scientific research, all right. First draw the curve, then plot the points, and finally tabulate the data.
