Science always makes more since an answered question invites ten more ... or it wasn't very good science.
Conversation to discover those questions is to purpose rather than to point and the latter is the converse of science since it will seek to resolve something once and for all. To all knowledge here at the Rockhouse, the only points ever resolved once and for all were the Ten Commandments and you see how America and a few others frolic with Thou Shalt Not Kill to make it mean whatever they like for any given situation.
There's a case study in the recent example of SpaceX doing an exemplary job of rocket science in reaching for tall goals and achieving them. This was taken as the glory of the private solution relative to the government solution in NASA which, first, isn't true, and, second, wasn't the point anyway.
If there's any point, it's that NASA did cool things and continues doing more of them, SpaceX gets into it and does surprisingly cool things, and wouldn't it be swell to keep going forward doing (cough) cool things.
Discussion to purpose leaves it open to whatever other cool things may come based on what we see now. NASA continues with its Mars launcher in one of the most massive booster rockets ever designed plus the life modules to support extended rides through the solar system. SpaceX and some others have come up in huge ways to join these missions so what possible amalgams of government and private will come and, man, how big does this thing get.
Discussion to point winds up with, 'oh, you always do that' and so on.
Mates, what do we do when we hit a statement starting with 'you always ...' in a conversation?
If you answered hang up the phone, you probably have healthy relationships in your life. Keep any conversation in the now and it will probably be ok even if you don't like the result but it has no chance whatsoever once it starts trawling the personal past for 'evidence' of past crimes.
Legba said 'nothing is ever as good as you hope it will be' and the extension is 'nothing is ever as simple as you try to force it to be.'
Back to the top with the Ten Commandments and Thou Shalt Not Kill since that's been presented, oh, a billion times or so here on the blog but the reaction, almost invariably, is more questions than answers.
Well, is it ok to kill the bastard if he shoots my wife and also my dog while he burns my house, kidnaps my daughter by stealing my car to take her with him, knocks her up plus makes video and releases it to porno sites, and then comes around for child support to raise the baby. I can kill him and take the baby, right?
