Actually you could replace the word science with any other noun and it would still make grammatical sense.

That is a consequence of the meaning of the term "grammatical sense", not a property of the particular sentence under discussion.

Good point. What I meant is that this quote could be used to defend anything. "Being irrational is interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off."
