Not to be a dick about this but it’s a common misunderstanding.

Murray Gell-Mann knows it all ;) I think about engagement a lot (as do you!), and worry about getting people over a line: from helping to doing.
Go read some of the Zooite forums, for things like the discovery of the "Green pea" galaxies. You see people who initially know little follow their curiosity, and end up discussing the ins and outs of spectroscopy, what it means for a galaxy to be a new type, etc.

It's a long way from Gell-Mann. But it's also a long way from doing a single galaxy classification. And I don't think "doing science" is black and white at all. Too many of my scientist colleagues would fail that test. I'm not sure I'd pass.

I don’t think it’s black and white either. Very important to say there are gradations. I agree with you there.
