Call it what you will, but from what I can see progress exploded when theoretical justification was thrown out the window. Maybe intelligence just is messy at its core? Science is all about induction, but what if there are no simple rules to break this down?
The only successful intelligence we know of came about through evolution, not science. The way I see it, researchers are now doing what evolution did, but in a more guided way and much more quickly. Whether you call that science or engineering or tinkering, it doesn't really matter.
