To counter obvious retorts:

What if the science of physics started with the Grand Unified Theory, knowing what the fundamental properties & rules of the universe were? would it still be science as we then worked from both ends of knowledge (basics up and complexity down)? how then would it be different from "computer science", where we start both with the basics (0, 1, NOR) and from the complexity of the behavior we see & desire, working both toward the middle for it all to come together and function?
