Mathematics is to science what ketchup is to food - it improves the taste of otherwise unpalatable dishes, but it kills more subtle flavors of everything else. This is particularly true of social sciences, where the availability of cheap computer numerical data manipulation programs fundamentally altered not only the direction of research, but also what kinds of data are being collected.
