Hi Taz,
I can see where you're going, but could you rewrite para 3 to be more generic, maybe say something along the lines of a sledge hammer not being the right tool to pound a nail because you'll just end up with holes in the wall.
You've also got two different topics. I'm a big believer in focus and brevity in discussion threads whenever possible, with the highest priority on making sure the key point or points are addressed, but the tactical errors of the science side is one topic, while clearly describing theory and the scientific process is another. I can see the topics are related, but could you draw them closer together, maybe by saying you want to use explaining science as an exercise for exploring what are the good and bad ways to explain something complicated.
