They are not, I view them as complementary, but to understand why
people think that way see what happens when you stay a net discussion
about counting the number of teeth a horse has, or asking how many
planets orbit the Sun and why. Try to sustain such a discussion.
I liked the reference to Newton, not only a theoretician, but developer
of the reflecting telescope and other instruments: physical and wel as
mental (flexions).
