Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as or

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that scientists do not actively engage in or benefit from the academic study of philosophy of science. Comparing it to ornithology, the scientific study of birds, implies that scientists are focused on their practical work and discoveries, rather than the theoretical debates and abstract concepts explored in philosophy of science. It highlights the idea that philosophers of science may theorize and analyze scientific practices, but ultimately, it is the scientists themselves who conduct the actual scientific research and make tangible advancements.
