... but to be a scientist, you have to be WILLING to be wrong, ask for help, admit you don't know everything and that you aren't a genius. You also have to be willing to do the hard work of continuing through til the research is done, not just til you're satisfied or tired of it or got an answer you liked. Not everyone has those qualities or is willing to learn them. Not everyone is, or can be, a scientist.
