Newton's First Law of Scholasticism

Admin1: Today scholastic education consists of teaching Newtonian doctrine mixed with data analysis techniques.

Dr. Gravytee: If we just teach data analysis without Newtonian doctrine we would look like a trade school.

A1: Data analysis and Newtonian doctrine are two different subjects with no relation.

Dr. G: Newton's First Law of Scholasticism says that once in never out.

A1: Curriculum gets more and more complicated.

Dr. G: Anthropic Principle proves that it is not a coincidence that Nature is divided neatly into natural divisions that closely match academic departments. If Nature had not been divided into academic divisions naturally we could never make any scientific advances.
