"Someday people will learn the difference between science and technology. Yes, when an idea has matured there are explanations for an effect but to say that all "scientific" concepts are born whole with explanation and understanding is just silly."
Right on! Science largely exists to explain observed phenomena and to aid the technologist in understanding, optimizing and expanding his techniques.
Good observers are golden. The world needs more people with intransigent minds who are willing to report accurately even if they don't know just why the emperor is naked. That's what makes AA great. What makes it not so good is arguing about why he has abandoned clothes without adequate research.
Are you old enough to remember reading 'Stranger in a strange land' way back when? The thing that left a lasting impression for me was what Heinlein called (I think) 'true witnesses'. People trained to report what they saw, rather than what they thought of it.
