Snippet #2357265

Surprise was visible on Andomeda’s face. Corki started out agreeing with her, but then suggested to do something that was obviously wrong according to her theories. If the Skipper wanted to go for a swim, why not just jump into the water? She wasn’t doing it to tease Tom, who had said he didn’t mind getting wet.

Maybe she was using the scientific method. Something happening as predicted by a theory did not prove that theory, instead one had to make up experiments that could prove the theory wrong. Andromeda wasn’t sure the principle worked the way Corki might be applying it - if sending the deer was wrong, that would disprove the theory, and if the random guess of sending the panther and the flowers would be wrong as expected, that wouldn’t prove anything.

This stuff was confusing.

Andromeda wasn’t in the mood to debate, pick sides and vote. As long as she wasn’t on that boat, the others could try out whatever they liked, though she did want them to make up their minds already and get everyone to the other shore.
