Put Another Way
Is It Science? (a first-order approximation) {
	Does it help you understand how things work?
	if (yes) {
		Such that you can bet on future events?
		if (yes) {
			If  you lose these bets, will you alter your understanding?
			if (yes) {
				Science!!!
				End
			} else if (no) {
				Not Science!
				End
			}
		} else {
			GOTO Line 11
			End
		}
	} else if (no, but...) {
		It provides a name to use when talking about a mystery (e.g., dark energy, fairies).
		Is this name the start or end of conversation?
		if (start) {
			e.g., 
			"Why did that happen?"
			"[insert name]."
			"What is that? Why don't we work to make that name more than a placeholder?"
			GOTO Line 8
		} else if (end) {
			e.g., 
			"Why did that happen?"
			"[insert name]."
			"Okay."
			GOTO Line 11
