Summary

This quote suggests that science should solely rely on numerical data and objective measurements, rather than personal opinions or subjective interpretations. It implies that the essence of science lies in quantifiable evidence that can be measured, observed, and replicated. Anything that cannot be expressed or supported through numerical figures may be considered a matter of opinion or belief rather than scientific fact. This emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence and objectivity in the scientific process.
