Yes, I should have explained this better. What I object to is claims
along the lines of "it is a scientific fact that the proletariat
should overthrow the capitalist overlords". This statement is not even
wrong: it involves making a category error.

On the other hand, this does not mean that politics should not be
scientifically informed.
