Wow, interesting statement...
I will have to decide if I hate it or I love it.
(I am an engineer. But in some ways more of a scientist really... And happily so. And our children may well be in a similar position, engineers by training, more like scientists occupationwise.)
But definitely "applied science" just as any hyphenated science is just BS. "Social" science, whatever.
