Study and Research
Good research starts with a question (and not a
yes/no question).
After the question, the researcher comes up with a
conjecture or theory (I think).
You then conduct research to prove your theory to be
right or wrong.
The goal is to improve the theory, not always the
answer to the questions. The theory has to be
edited many times.
