Real-World Scientific Thinking

Art Verification by Scientist

Scientists falsify one another's conclusions

Constant state of progress

Unlike artist, considers multiple posisbilities to explain results

Can misinterpret results due to lack of historical context

Combine scientific method and high technology

Reaching a Conclusion

Sometimes even after science, results are inconclusive

Scientific method supplements historian method

Art verification by Artist

Appears to be prematurely conclusive

Has expertise in field

subject-specific knowledge not available to scientists

Dates of painting, etc

Alone doesn't suffice, needs extensive scientific analysis

Use techniques and historic contexts to determine reliability
