Well, at least you can admit you don't really care about the scientific method. "Here's the conclusion, lets go find some proof."

Mike,

Actually, the scientific method sort of is "Here's the conclusion, lets go find some proof." . You state an hypothosis (based on prior knowledge/observations/theories), perform tests to prove/disprove and then re-adjust the hypothesis if required. If this is what you meant -- excuse me for jumping in.
