Knowledge equips you with material with which to imagine by free association.

Knowledge fills the shelves of your mind with possible permutations you need only labor to imagine.

The scientific method equips you with means of eliminating from your statements what you imagine, what you err, what you bias, and what you use to deceive, prior entering them into the informational commons – as a means of not causing harm to the commons (pollution).

The scientific method – the method of removing imaginary content – is both a procedural one (contrary to scientific common knowledge), an empirical one (that removes imaginary content), and a moral one (with which you promise others you have done your due diligence).

And I would like to hold you accountable for your claims of ‘science’: wherein you state what warranties of due diligence you have performed, and what warranties of due diligence that you have not. Because there is no reason to grant you a partial warranty.

If you wish to publish your ideas, you can be held accountable for warranty you must provide in order to publish, whether you desire to provide that warranty or not.

Social scientists would diminish rapidly in number.
