It's to delineate it from the _other_ vehicles, neither can be called "normal"

we have different words used to delineate them from other similar concepts

Indeed.

thanks bud ;

"Social science" does not preclude "science".

It specifies a subdomain.

Exactly.

Social isn't a prefix, it's an adjective.

It adds a quality to specify what kind of science.

its a delineation to separate it from the original/actual sciences and the reason we need to do that *is because its a type of science which uses different methodologies and epistemologies than science in general*

Demonstrate your hypothesis.

are you familiar with the free market toy model

toy model?

I most likely am familiar with it,

just not the English names.

the free market is nothing but a toy model

but okay its made up of plenty of different moving parts

first

you need a market demand curve

I know.

You don't need to explain this to me.

how do you get such a curve?

well

You want to analyse a market at perfect competition conditions?

As I stated,

you start with an individual demand curve and try to aggregate the demand curves into a market one

but to do this

I know what you're talking about

you need presuppositions about reality

I am just unfamiliar with the English terminology.

now, the presuppositions about reality used *are false*

so we are using *non-evidential argumentation to construct a theoretical entity*

this isnt what the scientific method does.

You just said that they are based on empirical data...

demand is analysed, and then bundled into a curve for the entire market.

no

the law of demand is a presupposition

The law of demand?

That the higher the price, the lower the demand?

How is that a presupposition?
