A judge at one of these high school science-fair events once remarked to
me that this is no more than "Playing at Research", that is, play-acting
the role of a scientist as an actor plays a role, going through the
motions and talking the language without necessarily understanding it. "I
play a doctor on TV, so you can trust me when I tell you that this
snake-oil really works!"
