Research Vehicle

One is used to the notion of a research vehicle but if research was itself a vehicle could one say its fuel is questions, its engine is philosophy, its wheels are methodology and its exhaust is a lot of hot air?

It would explain this blog!

Now that's an interesting extension of the metaphor. If the fuel is questions, then I have to verbalise them. My blog is stuck, empty, nothing there for a month because I can't verbalise anything that I've researched recently, but overwhelmed by the literature. I think I might take your approach, Graham, and write up each paper as I go along.
