One strength : we can do it in groups.

One weakness : uses models.

What's up with the downvotes. Did I accidentally contradict a dogma?

Ok, allow me to explicitly state the popular belief that I seem to be contradicting here.

Science is perfect. It has no weaknesses.

I'm curious how you define "science".

Because a lot of what you're saying sounds like complete nonsense, and I'm wondering if maybe you're talking about something completely different from what the rest of us are talking about.

    I define science as a nice method for crafting models. Characterized by its close adherence to observation and use of peer-review.

    Tell me about this lot of nonsense I'm saying, maybe I can clarify.

    Ok, yeah. I was right.

    I don't know anything about whatever you're talking about, but that's not "science" as most people understand the term.

    Ok, well what's your understanding of the term?

    And what's "most people's" understanding?

    And about that nonsense I was saying. You can't just gesture vaguely and slurfully like that. You gotta give evidence. Gimme a couple specific examples.
