Thanks for the ping.

Interesting, but something's wrong with this:
"...If that's the case, then science becomes less purely contemplative and more purposeful, and as fraught with social and political goals as technology is."

I don't think so. The purpose of science is to understand the natural world in rational way.

And since Pythagoras we have used mathematical models and computations in the process.

Computers have become a useful tool, but there is no change in the purpose of science.
