Is a “gentleman scientist” the opposite of an “arsehole scientist”?

Gentleman scientists are those with money who can science without having to consider such things as where the next meal is coming from. Darwin was a Gentleman Scientist.

William Dampier was not. That’s why he engaged in piracy. Arrgh me hearties
