Funny, Ben.
So . . . . could you clearly state why science can't be done by anyone willing
to simply follow the recipe?
Is it really anything other than the fact that they are stopped by their
unconscious beliefs and biases? If so, what?
Instead of a snide comment, defend your opinion with facts, explanations, and
examples of what it really is.
I can give you all sorts of examples where someone is capable of doing
something "by the numbers" until they are told that they can't.
What do you believe is so difficult about science other than overcoming the
sub/unconscious?
Your statement is obviously spoken by someone who has lectured as opposed to
taught.

*Any* human who can understand language beyond a certain point (say, that of
a slightly sub-average human IQ) can easily be taught to be a good scientist
if they are willing to play along. Science is a rote process that can be
learned and executed by anyone -- as long as their beliefs and biases don't
get in the way.

This is obviously spoken by someone who has never been a professional teacher
