whether science is science is also the issue

Somewhere along the line, perhaps about 1915, we left off the main line: which was the development of the science of science. Whether science is scientific is a valid question.

The answer seems to be integral to human choice and preference, a feature not entirely dictated by the objects that science studies.

js1138 doesn't think it such a flapdoodle to talk about the development of science, but js1138 is quite adamament about the kind of results expected from science.

Fascinating idea, but why 1915 in particular?
