Definition of Classic Education: The highest standard of learning, because learners have read and critiqued what the most informed people know in order to expand or replace their knowledge through rational means.
Definition of Science: Human activity intended to result in precise, systematic statements describing the likelihood (probability) something observed will reoccur.
Definition of Scientific Method: A system of procedures to identify and classify observations, especially in order to formulate, (mainly by induction and hypotheses) quantitatively verifiable principles that anticipate their recurrence.
Classic education, science, and scientific method serve as three aspects of rational representations of the universe of observable human life. Each requires use of informed, disciplined procedures. Each relies on the assumption that others may repeat and adjust procedures and facts they use to represent this life.
