I found this by poking around on the ystrickler.com site and was happy to find someone else who thinks about thinking and had actually read Il Saggiatore (The Assayer). I read it with something completely different in mind, and would recommend it (The Assayer) as one of the beginnings of a social discussion on the nature of science, but would caution against thinking it was the end of the conversation.
Still... I liked the page linked to. It's nice to see kids still care about practical epistemology.
