I’d replace scientist to something more precise like physicist because usually people consider mathematicians as scientists even if it depends on definitions.

Yikes!

… Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I’m game.

You can call them whatever you want, what are they going to do? They’re historians!

In twenty years time they’ll rip into me on r/askhistorians

oce 🐆@jlai.lu · 3 年前

Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don’t have?

milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee · 3 年前

Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the ‘humanities’, which are more lumped with arts than sciences.

Yes it usually is, but I think the methodologies for modern history research is very much scientific.

Feel free! I actually just googled it because I couldn’t exactly remember it. I’d use contractions too and make it less formal sounding.

Thank you, I feel free now. Go get those other hostages now!
