It truly is astonishing how a tool designed to combat dogmatic beliefs somehow manages to spawn equally dogmatic enforcers of what is "right" and "wrong". Now, if you knew a bit about the history of science, for all that dead mens' opinions are worth, you'd know that you can't ask a "scientific" question, but you can come up with a "scientific" answer. That is to say, you should let your imagination and creativity go wild when trying to come up with a hypothesis, then be stringent when testing said hypothesis. There's probably a name or two associated with this (Popper, mayhaps?), but I can't recall at the moment. Creativity, luck and imagination beats stringency any day of the week. Stringency is merely the finishing touch, so to speak, though necessary nonetheless.

Lastly, I do hope you are not deluding yourselves that an anonymous image board could somehow perform "science" (empirical testing of a hypothesis, in the broadest sense) in any meaningful manner. Thus, we are left with opinions and referring to others. From this we can easily see that your point isn't actually "this isn't science", but rather "stop doing things I don't like". I think /v/ would suit you.
