This would seem to have a similar force to Marx's reply to the reporter's question, "What is?" "Struggle."
Most of what I have ever heard called "science" reveals, upon examination, that it has involved, at some point, a conscious effort to change some part or aspect of the world, if only by staining a slide or digging up a layer of earth. If you want to know what a pear tastes like you must change the world by biting into the pear.
