Modern science is inconceivable outside an industrial society: but modern industrial society is equally inconceivable without modern science. Roughly, science is the mode of cognition of industrial society, and industry is the ecology of science.

Hence repressed manifestations in the one case, and exaggerated manifestations in the other; leading to mistaken estimates.
