Of course it is...imprecise lay language. I really meant, more familiar to people who aren't scientists. More pedestrian. We gaze at the stars and wonder. You work with mysteries that may explain the universe.

I see! It's not just repeating the experiment, but calculating distinctions in outcome--data!
