Culture studies isn't a natural science. It follows its own unique internal logic: Beckett doesn't disprove Shakespeare, etc. Culture is this complicated, subtle matrix through which we view the world; it forms the bedrock of our identities. Everyone participates in culture, so the stakes in its teaching and critique are planetary.
Culture is the grammar of the Matrix.
