 %CERTAINTY CONFIDENCE SURE ACCURACY REPEAT MEASURE 910502

     Due  to  a  lack  of  healthy  personal  self esteem;
scientists seek certainty, confidence and sure convictions
in repeatable measurements of great accuracy.

    To    scientists    sophistication,     repeatability,
independent    confirmations,    accuracy,     theoretical
coherence,    and  robustness  under  criticism  are   all
attributes  taken  to  point  towards  personal   respect,
affirmations,   and  acceptability which  they  yearn for,
because   they  have not had a fair share  of  them.   Yet
scientists  are  not free to understand their motivations,
because  such  understanding  requires reflexivity   which
(under their paradigm of complete objectivity) is taboo.

     To learn  scientific  concepts  well requires  making
positive   affective associations with scientific concepts
within the secure/positive affective contexts wherein  the
instruction and  study  take  place.    Scientists are not
trained    to  provide   such  secure/positive   affective
contexts,  and  so scientists  train future generations in
ways  which   leaves  future   scientists   untrained   to
provide   the  kinds  of secure/affective  contexts  which
are essential to  learning scientific concepts well.
