One scientist is as good as a 10% science slider!

When my tech straegy is to buy technology, I have been accustomed to setting the science slider to 10% so that I would at least get one advance every 32 turns. It turns out that having a single scientist is just as good. The scientist can even be in a totally corrupt city.

This suggests a strategy of alternating the science slider between 0% and 100% rather than leaving it at 50%. That way you get the average of the 32-turn rate and the maximum rate.
 
After the patch this limit of 32 turns will be pushed backed to 40 turns so this strategy will be even less viable as one for the game as you will fall so far behind on technology without spending silly sums on buying techs.
