Good point, but he did say in the first film I think, that he used his knowledge of music to create the voice box he talked through. Would that make him a scientist or an inventor? and does it matter.
Take Robert Stroud, the infamous "Bird Man Of Alcatraz" He discovered many cures for bird illnesses in his cell at levenworth state pen, and he didn't even do science 101 (if they had that then) at school. Yet he cured his birds with his medicine, that some say would make him a doctor, and as he discovered the cures in the first place that would make him a scientist surely. So why are people so obcessed with a title. I'm not pointing the finger at you hollywoodgothiq, I'm just wondering. Still if I had to have an operation I would demand a qualified doctor, and not someone who cuts up cadavers for fun :eek: So I guess I am just as obcessed as everyone else :D |
