8. Why is it NOT useful to view science as a set of facts?

(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.

Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.

science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted

This is my honest opinion

Science is not just facts. Science, to me, is full of theories and hypotheses that can be proved wrong. Yes, a majority of it is actually factual, but in the future it may or may not be true.

I hope it helps.
