The Tolstoy Principle (and Dad "talks" to Daniel) is the sixteenth video in the Lonelygirl15 video series and the third in the Proving Science Wrong series.
Transcript
(Bree is sitting cross-legged on the floor, redoing the picture board. Her dad opens the door to let Daniel in and give Bree one of his lab coats. After her dad closes the door, Bree looks up and says something inaudible to Daniel.)
Caption: Dad almost caught me! (Good thing he doesn't know a webcam from a hole in the ground) K... Back to the video!
(Bree is wearing her dad's labcoat. Daniel is not in the room.)
Today for our installment of Proving Science Wrong, our topic is going to be the Tolstoy Principle. Jared Diamond came up with this one.
The Tolstoy Principle basically states that...
(sotto voce) That's a tongue twister...
Horses and cows are pretty domesticable animals, right?
Scene cut: Bree is now holding up and reading from Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel.
(quoting) "Horses and cows provide their owners with meat, milk products, fertilizers, land transport..."
(Caption: 'They're still talking...' appears on right side of screen as she continues.)
"... leather, military assault vehicles, plow traction, as well as the germs that killed previously unexposed peoples."
(Cut to Daniel fiddling with the picture board on Bree's door.)
Bree (off camera): Daniel, do you think you're more like a horse or a cow?
(Bree is back on camera. Daniel is lying on the bed looking pensive, playing with P. Monkey)
So. Since Daniel is being uncooperative, looks like we're going to have to disprove this one on our own.
(Cut - Bree is reading either from a website or a book.)
"Used for leather." Well, I would never wear Daniel. But I guess he'd make a good throw rug.
"Military assault vehicles." Well, I've never ridden Daniel into battle.
So there you have it: the Tolstoy Principle, proven irrefutably wrong.
(Cut -- Bree turns back to the camera from having glanced at a still quite pensive, subdued Daniel.)
And here we have a clearly, very domesticated animal. And yet... he's clearly incapable of performing any of the previously mentioned tasks. If you're keeping count, that's Bree two, Science Zero.
(Cut to Daniel still lying, still on the bed, still on his stomach, still pensive.)
