Plato placed great importance on rational processes and believed that knowledge could be attained through reasoning and logic. Medieval scholars at Oxford, heavily influenced by Plato, also valued the role of rationality but often relied on religious teachings as a source of knowledge. On the other hand, Galileo emphasized the importance of observations and empirical evidence, challenging traditional beliefs and relying on direct observations to form his scientific theories.

Why is careful obersavation important to being a scientist?
A scientist may create an hypothesis on the basis of their observations. If their observations are carelessly made or recorded then any hypotheses they offer will be inaccurate reflections of nature. A scientist may alternatively collect observations to test an hypothesis. If these observations are carelessly made or recorded then the conclusions that the scientist makes about the hypothesis could very well be incorrect. At the very least the conclusions they draw would not be based on sound evidence (because the observations are unsound).
