While I have often thought of the scientific method as being one of the most important concepts I ever learned in school, I am reading a book called "The Onmivore's Dilemma" in which the author investigates the complicated process of our food chain.  At one point, he discusses how agonomists have looked to the scientific method to "solve" soil problems with one quick fix (fertilizers in particular).  He states that by relying solely on the scientific method, we miss run the risk of missing complicated mysteries. 

As always, balance, balance, balance.
