Our Science is only as good as...

Evaluate these statements:

 

1) Our science is only as good as our math.

 

2) Our science is only as good as our logic.

Edited by Genecks

Both statements are declarative sentences, and are each nine words long. The second differs from the first in ending with the word "logic" rather than "math," making the second statement one letter longer than the first.

I'd say they both miss the point, and I'd rephrase it by saying,

 

Our science is a method, and hence is only as good as the method we fallible humans choose to use when conducting it.

 

 

Although, Azure beats me completely on style points. ;)

I think that our science is only good as our questions which we ask and the answers which we seek.
