Aha! A stamp collector.


Sigh. Carroll would have despaired at you, I despair at you, and for
the same reason. Even accepting Rutherford's definition, I am neither
a physicist nor a stamp collector. Yet I can (with justification)
claim to know more about what constitutes a science than most scientists.
What am I?


Humourless?

[ Actually, I don't claim to be a specialist in that area, but I can
honestly claim what I did. Unfortunately :-( ]
