在網上搜尋一下 scientist 的定義。
如果 scientist = an expert in science 或 who practises any of the sciences 那當然是「非一般人物」;幸而, a person learned in science and especially natural science 或 a person who studies 已經算是 scientist 了。
那符合中學英文老師有一天說到 artist 及 scientist,他說我們理科生都是 scientist。可是,他身為文科生卻很遺憾,不能說是 artist。
所以,這個 blog 名沒有錯。
