Made me laugh too. Here are the final two paragraphs for those that
are lazy.

Perhaps such spectacles won't penetrate too deeply into the public
consciousness. But I suspect they already have. Just this week I was
chatting with a friend who, over the years, has helped her kids slog
through the obligatory science-fair projects.

"The experiments never turned out the way they were supposed to, and
so we were always having to fudge the results so that the projects
wouldn't be screwy. I always felt guilty about that dishonesty," she
said, "but now I feel like we were doing real science."
