I think that these comments are getting us closer. I'm not disagreeing with these more nuanced takes on science. The key is 'nuanced'. In the general public, the 'right' is generally 'against science' and 'truth'. They will blatantly state as such. I agree, not everything is always binary True/False, and culture can influence these. But in todays world, it is hard to discuss something with a lot of gray area. Also. Seems like you might be playing at language games some. Really, if we pick everything apart enough, nothing means anything.

See the distinction between murder and manslaughter (is it me who is playing language games?). > Really, if we pick everything apart enough, nothing means anything. Which seems counterintuitive to me, since science's ability and willingness to dig ever deeper (even years after any success has been achieved) is what sets it apart from most other disciplines. What's funny is that the very same methodology applied to the metaphysical realm can cause opinions on whether that is a good idea to flip, as is happening here and is getting me into trouble.
