The End of Linguistics

That is not my view on science. I don't know how this assertion can be
concluded from my messages.

I tried to say I am unable to offer a convincing view (at least, for
myself) of what a science is versus what it is not, within the field of
technical knowledge, in terms of its objects, methods, and purported
objectives.

Since you don't really address any of my opinions in my second, longer
message, I would appreciate it if you would not refer to me without
trying to substantiate your comments about my own.
