are you saying pkf said "its not all science" or "its all science"? if the latter:

i have read pretty much all of feyerabend's writings and though i cannot say that the line above ("its all science") is not used by him, i think it turns his position on its head.

how and why would one equate astronomy and astrology? are there objective standards to do so? "use" is relative to need, no?
