Thanks, Don.

Looks to be a completely fascinating read.

By profession and interest both, I am deeply involved in science. Not Science. I do not delude myself that there is anything particularly special about science which somehow renders it some unassailable descriptor of an objective reality. The primary difference between science and, say, dreaming, or speculation, or imagination lies in its formalism and discipline, not any inherent validity, or closer approximation of what we like to call external reality. As the review to that book implies, that formalism and discipline itself can limit science, and alter its course in ways which subvert the very thing it seeks---the primary asset becomes the major flaw.

As always, JMVHO.............YMMV
