Harwood & Baloney Detection Kit Comparison

The Harwood Model and the Baloney Detection Kit are two ways to view science are similar in a way.

The Baloney Detection Kit uses reason and common sense to look at a situation. It gives us the ability to look at a problem, theory or idea and make rational associations and conclusions based on that idea. It is also an interesting way to look at science.

The Harwood Model does the same thing in different language. It is more technical. It is just as rational and useful as the Baloney Detection Kit, just not as fun.

Both of these models accomplish the same goal. They both use a process of science to rationalize a theory, idea, or wild guess.
