That does not strike me as an adequate basis for deciding what science is or is not.
Words mean different things to different people… as I said, I’m not interested in arguing over the “proper” definition of this word. I’m interested in clarifying the process through which experiments lead to new knowledge about the world. You can call this process “not science” and I won’t argue—it’s not an interesting argument to me.
So, are you saying that the outcome of science is a set of subjective estimates that most people agree with?
I’m not sure… what do you mean by “the outcome of science?”
