Not only does it include plenty of components derived from distinctly "non-scientific" disciplines, but these components are often vital parts of the "progress" science has made (using whatever criterion of progress you prefer).

Without the separation of two distinctly different levels of forecast certainty, civil societies inevitably blame the scientific community for unwittingly misleading them astray.
