Digital BW, The Print

One is not talking method alone but rather results from a particular method
or set of procedures.

It is unlikely that anyone else can exactly duplicate his results.

On the other hand using science it becomes possible, once taught, to
generally speaking, exactly duplicate results, and time after time after
time.

What is more the scientific method is what gives the inkjet man the tools to
do the job in the first place.

Science is progressive and recordable and can be used to define a repeatable
standard.

The subjectivist is a law unto him/herself and once he/she shuffles off this
mortal coil, the real know-how goes to the "other place" with them.

Meanwhile the scientific method develops and develops and develops and gets
better and better and better and does not depend on a single individual for
it's dynamic impetus.

Give me objectivity and scientific method every time.

Richard

"Subjectivity", "personalized instincts" -- terms that need some 
unpacking to foster productive discussion rather than pointless 
argument. At any rate, Clayton isn't advocating a methodless, purely 
intuitive approach to printing. His website article on printing BW with 
the 2400 provides a step-by-step method that can be duplicated and 
passed on.
