The story's title isn't explicit about the means by which the knowledge is gained, nor exactly which details are being sought. I think it's a mistake to treat the scientific method as the only plausible source of knowledge. My opinion is obviously based on a particular worldview, but so is a claim that the only useful source of knowledge is the scientific method.
