The discipline we call philosophy and the discipline we call
   science consist of a set of methods (processes) which
   philosophical science, the social sciences, and the physical
   sciences, use to launder existential impossibility,
   limitlessness, error, bias, imaginary content, wishful thinking,
   deception, and (objective) immorality (in the domain of the
   social sciences) from our testimony (speech). This laundering is
   achieved by a set of methodological criticisms addressing
   increasing levels of complexity, of which philosophical science
   requires the full set of criticisms, social science a subset of
   those criticisms, and physical science yet another subset of
   those criticisms. Those criticisms consist of tests of:
   Identity, Internal Consistency, External Correspondence,
   Existential Possibility (Operationalism), Full Accounting
   (against selection bias), Parsimony (limits), and Voluntary
   Transfer (objective morality).*   by*Curt Doolittle*on*Thursday,
