If science were nothing more than the best means of teaching

Summary

It suggests that if science focused solely on instilling a love for discovering simple facts, teaching the necessity of verifying information, and encouraging meticulous observation and precise communication, its worth would be exceptionally significant. In other words, the appreciation for scientific principles and practices would extend beyond just the accumulation of knowledge, but also develop critical thinking, attention to detail, and a commitment to truth and accuracy.
