Panel 1:
A man with gray hair, in a blue jacket and tan pants, stands in what appears to be a courtroom, gesturing emphatically with one finger raised. A robed figure (a judge) sits at a bench behind him.
Man: "I AM A SCIENTIST, NOT A PHILOSOPHER! I DO EXPERIMENTS TO UNCOVER FACTS, NOT TO VALUE-JUDGE THEM! PUT ME AWAY IF YOU WANT, BUT MY TRUTH WILL SPEAK LOUDER THAN EVER!"

Panel 2:
A document held up below the scene, in handwritten text:
"ABSTRACT: BABY HEARTS ARE DELICIOUS"

Votey:
A close-up of the same document, now showing the bottom-right corner of the text. Visible fragment: "...RTS ARE ...CIOUS*" (i.e. the end of "BABY HEARTS ARE DELICIOUS") followed by an asterisk. A footnote at the bottom reads: "*ALSO PUPPIES"

A gray-haired man in a blue jacket stands in a courtroom before a seated judge, gesturing with a raised finger as he delivers a passionate defense: "I am a scientist, not a philosopher! I do experiments to uncover facts, not to value-judge them! Put me away if you want, but my truth will speak louder than ever!" Below, a handwritten document reveals the actual finding he is so proud of: "ABSTRACT: BABY HEARTS ARE DELICIOUS." The votey zooms in on the corner of that abstract, showing an asterisk after "delicious" with a footnote: "*ALSO PUPPIES."
