Yes, but my point was that science is its own field of human thought, not merely an emergent property of sufficient skill in Math and English. Deductive reasoning, single-variable analysis, control experiments...these are all skills which I would classify as "science". These are skills that I learned very early on in my education (6th and 7th grade, primarily), and I feel they were key in guiding me down my present path.
