"That's not all," she continued with an exasperated tone. "There are also the moral considerations, which are the most pesky of them all. Every experiment we perform or study we conduct affects the lives of many, many people. If an economic or political experiment fails, then… you just ruined the lives of thousands or millions of people."
"And my father bypassed those shortcomings?"
"Not exactly, although his administration is the most robust at data-recording," she admitted. "What he did was confirm or refute many anthropological theories and hypotheses. In his four-century run of a whopping economic success, he has proven, beyond all reasonable doubt, that there are definitive paths to success as a nation that contrast sharply with definitive paths to failure. That is why every researcher in the humanities loves your father. He is the ultimate torch in an otherwise dark and unknown landscape, shedding light on truths that we could have never known without him!"
