    I’d replace scientist to something more precise like physicist because usually people consider mathematicians as scientists even if it depends on definitions.

      Yikes!

      … Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I’m game.

        Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don’t have?

          Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the ‘humanities’, which are more lumped with arts than sciences.

            Yes it usually is, but I think the methodologies for modern history research is very much scientific.

      Feel free! I actually just googled it because I couldn’t exactly remember it. I’d use contractions too and make it less formal sounding.
