"My brother who is very scientific and mathematically minded explained to me that very thing." Unfortunately, most scientists don't have the critical-thinking skills that your brother does and can't distinguish between science and philosophy.
Many even after it is explained to them...

critical-thinking skills He really is quite amazing in that respect. He has also studied philosophy and enjoyed it very much....but he favors greatly science and mathematical reasonings.
He was recently contacted by a foreign business man to solve some of his developement issues. Proud that he declined the offer, though the man was more then generous in what he would pay for that.
It is true foreigners are attempting to "buy" our men and woman of great minds.
