Naming the company "Science" really grates my gears. It strikes me as an opportunistic grab of a huge swath of cognitive and linguistic commons. Sure it's clever but if this company's branding gets popular with the general public it will irreversibly change how young people think about actual science, and that really bothers me.
Nothing is sacred enough for some people I guess. Not science, not even the human mind.

Certainly not when the aims seem to be to corner the market in ruling over those minds.
