I guess its the "test it within yourself, and if it feels right" part where things differ a from science. The point about science is that it intentionally disconnects us from what "feels right", the assumption being that we can be deceived and that we all see things differently.
Interesting that this then contrasts with the Cosmology Principle, which re-establishes that all things look the same, from whatever place the observing is done .. the difference being of course, that the observation should be able to be repeated under the same conditions, by anyone so they can see it for themselves.
"Leaving it or look at it every now and then, to see if your understanding of it has changed", sounds like a change process to me ! The change process is more rigorous in science. Although, as Bert mentioned .. things change if they're bleedingly obvious !
(Which re-introduces what Warren mentions .. the human aspect !
)
