The "field"? Information? No, Woz, the field you're
trying to define is science, not information.

Yes so, Har.
You're not being honest, Woz. Just "'cause I said so" is not
a valid answer. I gave you a valid answer why you were indeed
trying to define science and you left it out of your non-reply,
so here it is again:
"You wrote "Science is setting [truth], "not discovering it"
I wrote that your claim is equivalent to "Science = setting
truth." When I say A = B, I'm defining A to be the same as B.
You can twist and turn all you want, but
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/definitionDefinition: "the act of defining, or of making something definite,
distinct, or clear"
Which is EXACTLY what you were doing.
“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may
deride it, but in the end, there it is.” -- Winston Churchill
So please stop the childish nonsense and act like a responsible
adult.
