"Many scientists are confused.
We have a remedy for them.

At a recent science meeting in Washington, DC, we encountered many
scientists, from the United States and elsewhere, who said they were
confused and troubled. "What," most everyone was asking, "has happened to the US government's policy about science?"

The question has a happy answer. The US now, at long last, has a
coherent, simple science policy. You can state it in four words:

Don't Look, Don't Tell

This is a practical policy, because scientists are a pain in the neck.
They insist on digging up "the real story" of how things work!"
