If there is ‘never an ultimate truth’ then there is really no difference between science and pseudoscience – in so much as both are mutable. Meanwhile, why not move the goalposts? Keeping them in one place merely restricts the game to a narrow set of rules, which we might find ‘comfortable’ in the short-term, but which might also restrict us from seeing ‘different types of meaning’ in the long-term.
