I'm not tired at all, Cas. Or are you?
Read the paragraph carefully. The entire paragraph is saying that science is not an absolute, perfect thing, as the ordinal people would think. So whether it's "science (noun)" or "scientific (adjective)", we shouldn't misuse it; we just have to be careful about anything which is called "science" or "scientific". That's the whole message, I think. Therefore, I don't think the grammatical
form as you pointed out really matters in this case.
Contextually, Nahualli's interpretation works a lot better, IMO.
