Perhaps not to an imaginative sort like yourself... but that's how the
scientific method generally works.

What doesn't matter is what you think how *THE* scientific method
works, what matters is how other people (not you, you choose not to
participate) can obtain evidence, and convert that evidence into
useful results, which can be used by other people (not you, you choose
not to participate) as further evidence, ad infinitum.

You are worse than an absolutist, you are a 'normalist'.
