Subject: What's Up, Doc?
 
Felicia Berke mentioned _What's Up, Doc?_ as a film with a scientist.  I
have a problem with that.  Ryan O'Neil's character was a musicologist, and
his discipline would be "the scholarly study of music" (cf. Harvard
Dictionary of Music, 2nd ed.).  Though the ends of such study would relate
to music, it would not exclude studies in physical and natural sciences in
certain topics.  Still, a musicologist is not a scientist in the sense of
the ones mentioned so far.  What do you all think?  Am I correct in my
thinking or am I being too anal?  My co-worker is a doctoral student in
ethnomusicology.  When she gets back, I'll talk to her and let you know
what she thinks.
