then our definitions are not so dissimilar. curiosity, a hunger for knowledge, for discovery - these are the fundamentals. those empirical methods are simply the means to exercise our passions - to direct them, to refine the results, to enable legitimate proof. i would argue that a scientist may contribute to the greater pool of knowledge with models alone - someone, somewhere, somewhen, will find that knowledge interesting, inspiring, perhaps even useful - unless you mean the other kind of artistic model. anatomical study is valid science.
