'cuz it's awesome! Experimentation is how we learn about the world; repeated experimentation is how we learn about precision. The "round ice melts into the drink more" problem could be solved really easily through experimentation: 1) Make 2 kinds of ice of the same mass. 2) Pour two glasses of alcohol of the same volume. 3) Let each sit for 10 minutes and remove ice from both glasses. 4) Measure volume of liquid in glasses; weigh amount of ice from both glasses. 5) Repeat a few times for certainty. And nobody has to argue about heat sink equations.I'm not really sure why I tell you this. I hope you didn't mind.
