Anyway, the second you actually start to try and define the rules that govern why some things are considered science and others are not, you realize that a lot of it is pretty arbitrary

When Dawkins says that "science" is not socially constructed, what he means is that there are objectively true facts and that these are immutable, but the reality is that our system for discovering those facts cannot ever be without some construction

Yes, he partially clarified this, but the important point is not about whether there is or isn't an objective reality, but whether our system for examining that reality is objective
