That is an analogy, not fact or presented as fact. Inability to distinguish the difference would indicate a severe communications problem.
If quantum interactions totally explain our perception of this universe's reality, then the statement "science deals with probabilities" will become fact. What can't be argued is that we are in a knowledge, information and data explosion, only expected to accelerate over the next few years. Discussing what is fact and what is not fact is a philosophy exercise. For engineers, what is close enough is good enough and engineers are always aware there is uncertainty in all human observation and measurement, so crank in a safety factor of 2 to (probably) take care of that.
"It was a majority decision to descend into the Dark Ages. Don't worry, be happy, bang on da drum all day! Onward to Elysium."
No, its a claim, presented as "FACT" by some in support of GEO.
Just as claiming GEO is "raping Madam Pele" is presented as "FACT" by those who do not support GEO.
As for philosophy in this matter, I am reminded of the age old quote that says "Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned."
GEO is being played by BOTH sides on the "religious" part and not on the scientific or philosophical part.
