Dominique:

Your statement "...science is inadequate or subjective..."  is nonsense and if
meant as playful humor,  the effort is tasteless defeatism!  

Hypotheses can be inadequate or subjective; but, the enterprise of science is
so much more; namely, that of empirical  validation, verification and
justification.  Hypotheses unfounded on fact are indeed inadequate, subjective
and unusable!   

If you're asserting "there is no explaining taste" ; why, then,  that  may be
so because we do not yet possess a widely appreciated or understood science of
values; although, some of us are very busy developing one at the present
moment.
