If I'm writing, I'll say something metaphorical or approximate, whereas scientists are very precise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
But a science is exact to the extent that its method measures up to and is adequate to its object.
I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
The thing about science is that it's an accurate picture of the world.
I'm not just a scientist.
This means I must pay close attention to the writing, but equally so to the scientific background - which sometimes means doing fairly involved calculations.
An enormous amount of scientific language is metaphorical. We talk about a genetic code, where code originally meant a cipher; we talk about the solar system model of the atom as though the atom were like a sun and moon and planets.
Science is all metaphor.
Science always uses metaphor.
Scientists have to have a metaphor. All scientists start with imagination.
