The scientific method is incompatible with Truth because it depends for its existence on illusions; that is, the category, duality, or relativity. One solitary ultimate truth would destroy the many truths science is made of. Therefore Truth is the mortal enemy of science, and while scientists may seek unifying principles, it is more than they are worth to genuinely seek the Truth. For the same reason, it is impossible for them to consider that others go above their heads.
Science is a mental tool for making sense of Nature; it is not Nature Herself. It can show us what works, not what is true. It is irrational and unnecessary to infer that what works is true, or is true to the degree that it works. Only the man of the Tao can do true science, for he does not project onto his hypotheses and theories what they are not. If they work, he is happy enough - and leaves it at that. He does not grasp and settle down in his ideas.
