Computer scientists and practitioners defend
their lack of experimentation with a wide range
of arguments. Some arguments suggest that
experimentation is inappropriate, too difficult,
useless, and even harmful. This article
discusses several such arguments to illustrate
the importance of experimentation for
computer science.
