Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.
Perhaps you can provide examples that I've obviously missed. As I stated, test tones and sub audible measurements are no indication of how music sounds.
Science asks the questions that humans contrive with the tools humans design. Data is selected according to human interests. Worshipping tools rather than contextualizing their use is an instance of misplaced concreteness. A.k.a., "scientism."
