with art

[AUTOMOON]

Today control system is a science with art still playing an important role.

what do you mean by saying a science with art?

[Mister Micawber]

This demonstrates the importance of the wise use of commas: there should be one between 'science' and 'with'--

'Today's control system is a science, with art still playing an important role.'

[AUTOMOON]

But the context has nothing to do with art.

The phrase with art must be a part that modify science, rather than to be connected with the latter part .

Do you think so ?

[Tdol]

I agree with Mr Micawber. By art, they could mean that science alone is not enough- art could cover many things here.

[Tdol]

If we say something is an art not a science, we mean that it involves judgement rather than simply assessing things statistically, say, so politics is an art not a science. Presumably that is what is behind this sentence.
