The category error exists whether or not the questions are right or wrong, it is irrelevant to my point.
Let me put it this way. Part of philosophy is the Milesian school of thought. The idea that everything is made of water. A completely ludicrous idea that I would argue makes the practitioner ask the wrong questions as we now know things are made of complex particles.
Does this have anything to do with the category error I’m describing? No. Science and the Milesian school of thought simply don’t belong together regardless of what right or wrong questions your favorite field makes you ask.
