Scientists who contribute to the current body of scientific knowledge and literature come from all races. Working individually and in cooperative teams, scientists test various hypotheses using strict methods and retesting. These scientists are never content to accept the first apparent result, but religiously assess the methods used so they can prevent false results. They re-question, re-assess, re-test, and re-evaluate from all angles and do not accept common beliefs, assumptions, or myths without careful scientific experiments, testing, and proofs that support the hypothesis. Scientists, like genealogists, understand the power of a "negative result", that is, results that disprove or that do not support the hypothesis. Because they rigidly look for the smallest proof that disproves the working hypothesis, scientists are likely the only body of professionals who are willing to discard a working hypothesis based on scientific results even if it means trashing years of work, and creating a new hypothesis that takes into account all positive (supporting) and negative (disproving) results from their previous work.
