Problem w/ Science in one paragraph

In Response to analyzing Indus Script to determine if it represents a spoken language:

"Once again, Science falls for a glib magic formula that purports to answer a question about language. They would not, I hope, fall for a similar hypothesis in biology. They would, I hope, be skeptical that a simple formula could account for the complex interactions within an evolutionarily built system. But somehow it escapes them that language is such a system, as are other culturally constructed symbol systems, carrying lots of specific information that cannot be captured by a single statistic."

I think this can apply to all branches of science. Not only are they capable of ignorance, but of falling in love in the new shiny thing that promises to answer all their questions.
