Science is well defined.

Oh, so when science is defined in the way Popper defines it, it is "arbitrary confines", but when it is defined in a way to legitimize cargo cult science, it is "well defined".

Arbitrary confines of science is when you limit science to the scientific method. Well-defined science is frankly an insult to science

Spoken like a true pseudoscientist.

Yes, it should be an insult, right? How dare they can expect a scientist to use scientific method for all their results? I mean, it sounds totally crazy, insulting! And more importantly, how are we gonna publish papers or get grants then?

Strawmen for days!

Just answer me this: Do you believe that the science is purely limited to the scientific method?

Just riddle me that and I'll be content. Just keep in mind that you'll be outing yourself as scientifically illiterate.
