More wisdom from Feyman! Hands down the best commencement speech I've heard (topping Steve Job's).
It's so true that we're being taught in schools that it's more important to get the desired results than to stay faithful to what the data represents. Error analysis is just a section that you need to bs a few paragraphs in. This is evident in sooo many people fudging their results for the physics summative, and I'm guilty of it myself too (gosh that chem experiment was just soooo bad).
But never too late to start, I will try my best to live by this scientific integrity principle.
Link to the xkcd comic shown in the video & another one about Nash (You should watch A Beautiful Mind, it's so touching *u*).
