Surprisingly, even though Gauss had managed a similar initiative, he refused to give Herschel the advice he wanted, claiming that he needed to see Herschel's results before he could reply. Taking this miscommunication as a point of departure, this article traces the cause of this miscommunication to differences in how each scientist viewed scientific training and the communicability of different kinds of scientific knowledge.
