There is one difference. The effects of those things can be quantified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The "Flat Earth" was also quantified..
as well as those following Phrenology..... quantified things..

not to speak of those that quantify Babies to be Fetus's..
a sever reduction in quality and quantity..

Is the quality and quantity of things measured "spiritually".. -OR- "Carnally".... or even "Materialistically"..

A Worm looks at things one way.. a Butterfly another way..
The Chrysalis of life... makes quantity an open question..
Is it possible to be a Worm and a Scientist as well?..

Truly there are many things which can be quantified, e.g. the flatearth of 2 spatial dimensions plus 1 dimension of time. That does not make it real.

Another example is coordinate transformations. That coordinates may transform between systems does not mean that all such systems are real.
