Especially when it comes to theorists vs experimentalists. Both agree that experiment is necessary to prove the theory. Both agree that unexpected observation in experiments needs new theory.
Theorists are usually the type to mentally explore possibilities based on prior knowledge before physically testing possibilites. Some may never actually experiment they get so wrapped up in the exploration.
Experimentalists are usually the type to physically test possibilities before mentally exploring “why” the outcomes happened. Some may never actually mentally explore possibilities because they died in an experiment.
This seems to be intrinsic to these scientists. So much so the interactions would be similar to anyone actually willing to talk to missionaries.
If it were possible to convert people to theorists, we’d have a lot less proven, and if it were possible to convert people to experimentalists, we’d all be dead.
Eh. It would create a whole new set of problems.
