Certain that I don't.

If you want to design buildings, you have to pass exams and qualifications as an architect.

If you want to design structures, you have to pass exams and qualifications as an engineer.

If you want to practice the law, you have to pass exams and qualifications as a lawyer.

If you want to practice medicine, you have to pass exams and qualifications as a doctor.

If you want to practice science, you experiment.

Muthafukkas was all about experimentation going back to the Etruscans or before.
