"by certain areas like philosophy or political "science." I had to put science in quotation marks because political science is not science. It does not follow the scientific method in that no experiments or manipulation of variables are done by one who studies the field. I will rename "political science" to "political studies.""
-Obviously, he has never read a scholarly PoliSci paper, which is ironic, considering that the University of Michigan Political Science department built it's reputation by meticulously doing research involving all manner of mathematical projection models (with variables, too!)
As Ludwig Wittgenstein said, "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent." Advice worth taking, methinks.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,

to wrong causes."
