ABSTRACT
Men of science often are surrendered of influence of their social surroundings.
It particularly determines a kind of their description. We should take care about
character of explorers’ relationship with their social environment. This relationship
may be then a difficulty for objectively description. On the other side scientific
description is not only a “photo” of reality, but also is a special interpretation,
helpful in explanation. Sometimes watchful explorer should takes attention to
seemingly unimportant, correlated variables. Correlations are not automatically
equivalent with causality. Explorer of science should not to be in hurry during
formulating his conclusion about any dependence, as long as he will comprehend
essence of the problem.
