    I mean yeah the researcher discovered it in the name of science and probably took all measures to properly categorize the species and name it and stuff.

      I mean yeah, you just said it… the researcher didn’t discover a thing, they categorized it.

      Which doesn’t sound nearly as noble and cool does it?

      Also, nothing is done “in the name of science”. Science is a process of observation, not a philosophy or ideology. It isn’t a religion or a monarchy. You would no sooner do something “in the name of addition” than you would for science.
