The basic problem is that you think that 'science' is
'automatically true' and all you have to do is say
words that sound like 'science' and they are automatically
'true' because they 'sound like science'.

For your words to have value, you must care what is true.

I am skeptical that you care what is true.  I think that
your words can be dismissed as relatively valueless on
that basis.

I do not care if you play with the words 'water' and
'liquid'.  It is reasonable to consider your words
to be relatively meaningless because you do not care
what is true to begin with.
