What is the difference between science and science using statistics?
This example may help understand the difference.
Science.
The sun will appear every morning. That is scientifically provable.
If a person balks about the possibility that it may not occur, or it doesn’t occur, it means there is either no sun or no earth and this question is moot. Until then it is scientific fact. After that there is no objects on which to test the hypothesis.
Statistics.
What is the probability the temperature will be exactly 85 degrees Fahrenheit for the three hours starting 12:00PM to 3PM on Saturday July 12, 2014. The answer is a probability of practically zero. It may or may not occur. No one can guarantee the event will happen.
Statistics used as science is an oxymoron. It is not possible.
Statistics used to analyze scientific results is possible.
Statistics to determine scientific results is not possible.

To turn my leering leaching eye to the realm of "Notes", for example "Community Notes" and all other sources of information sometimes also called data either for or not for "checking" or any other purpose such as research. Can there be identified anything that is useless before one's encounter with such note (source)?
Requisite condition: How would one know for themself?
Do I hear it now? What you say?
Self-assigned complication rating: <1>). Or maybe zero.
Point: Everything old is always new to some or many.

What I am quite but not completely sure of is that I would support not preventing anyone from not doing what they do not want to do. However, in some situations I would not recommend such behavior.
