I take issue with this definition. It uses a lot of words which seem meaningful, but are just arbitrary thresholds: "careful", "rigorous", "testing".

How do I know if I'm doing "careful empirical investigation" or just "empirical investigation"? Am I being rigourous enough to be "Science"? How do I tell if my "testing" is valid?

Is it "Science" if I think parachutes work? There's evidence, but it could simply be a placebo.
