I don't know how Kennyc will feel about your summary, but I'd like to add a nuance to what you say about my position. I think that science is an excellent way of knowing, and by and large when other ways of knowing stray into the scientific domain, they come off worse. But there are domains where science has little to say, and there are societies which have had no science. That doesn't mean they had no knowledge, nor that they were in any way 'primitive' (when Frank Gillen arrrived at Alice Springs, the Arrernte had as complex a cosmology and social system as anything we've dreamed up)
