My experiment: I got 200 grass-hoppers, placed one at a time on a table, said "Jump" and then let it go. In 95% (+/- 2%), the insects jumped. I then repeated the experiment, but this time, I broke off the large pair of hind legs just before I said "Jump". In 100%, they did not jump.
This experiment was repeated numerous times by myself and other scientists all over the world. The results were essentially the same.
I therefore concluded that grass-hoppers hear through their hind legs. That's my hypothesis. Actually, it's a theory. It's thoroughly testable, scientifically falsifiable, and it makes accurate predictions. Do you agree with my theory?
(In case you're wondering what this question is doing in this section, I am wondering how many people make the scientific method their god).
