Let me try a variation on that.

"My statement still

I assume you might agree with my new statement. But that does not make
either one of them "bad science" nor even not on equal footing." They
address different things (physics is a bad example, BTW, for it addresses
so many things, some of which are as chaotic as evolution and weather
theory!).

John Casti has written two excellent books on this idea, PARADIGMS LOST
and SEARCH FOR CERTAINTY. I recommend them.
