So if not reality, what?  Well, science builds on the previous set of 
analogies, analogy on top of analogy on top of analogy all the way 
down to no-thing.  Or do you think there is some thing at the

more or less, guaranteed by the method and questions asked.

Science also harms humanity, and spends oodles of money doing the 
harm.  What good is an enlarged ego?
