	How is the "water is an intoxicant" example not a good example of
scientific method?  Because after you try scotch-and-water, bourbon-and-water,
gin-and-water, you do not then CONCLUDE "water is an intoxicant" -- you
make that a hypothesis.  Then, obviously, you test it with just water.  And
that is why this criticism of scientific method is incorrect.
