It scares people away constantly hearing that scientific talk. That and the cost of the hobby.

Oh I love when I read something I don't understand. That means I have to go learn something. I find it way more interesting to try to extract bits and pieces and apply it to some new methodology or using that information to define anecdotal evidence.
