"Because the thing about science (and, Steven Pinkerites, please pay attention) is that it’s great at understanding what it can measure, bad at understanding what it cannot measure, and tragically ill-equipped to recognize when it doesn’t have the ability to measure what it claims competence to understand. In the best cases, science eventually gets better and we understand what we didn’t before. In the worst cases it fails to get better, and so fails to help us evade the consequences of our former premature technocratic judgments."
