I studied logic and math before studying science. I was especially fond of Euclidean Geometry, Descartes Analytic Geometry and Newton's calculus. In other words, I take an old school approach to science.

I expect science to involve rigorous logical models with reproducible results.

Unfortunately, in public and political discourse, people are interested in the effects achieved by the arguments and not by the underlining structure. This means widespread misuse of the term.

This confusion of definitions happen with most terms. I am only perturbed when I encounter people who believe that a piece of propaganda is actually scientific.
