The term "Evidence based science" has caught on
When I started this blog there were no more than a dozen instances on Google search of the term.
Now there are thousands.
The evidence for this s hard to present, because "evidence-based science" was being used, which shows up differently than the verbatim search.

Shout out to Jim Steele
Jim Steele is an actual evidence based science person, and this is just a shout out to him.
I have no peer reviewed papers to support my assertion. He however, has a lot of interesting science to publish.

Now the word "run" has the most meanings
"Run" currently is the word with the most different meanings. The verb-form alone has no fewer than 645 meanings and Peter Gilliver worked for more than nine months to work out all of them.

Online look at the word
As a child I would read the dictionary,
Yes, I was that kid. I noticed some words filled pages with the different definitions, and once tried to find the word that had the most definitions. It was "ride", with run, set, and put close seconds.
The unabridged dictionaries were the best. I simply looked for pages that were filled with just one words definition, and then calculated by the amount of page space used to determine which word had the most definitions. Not scientific, but fun.
This meant I had to actually look at every page of the unabridged dictionary. Didn't take as long as it sounds.
It was an immature attempt to use evidence based science, to determine which word had the most definitions.
