I don't think cognitive science for example is or contains reverse engineering the mind.

I suppose a good q might be what do you think it's a prime/typical/famous example of reverse engineering?

no worries- was thinking of it in the sense of e.g. classically figuring out a radio. Then it's hypothesis testing

do you consider figuring out a radio as reverse engineering? For me the process is about rebuilding it.

so figuring it out, yes, science. Rebuilding it, no.

hence why in my opinion it's called reverse engineering. Because goal is to (re) build original item.

in sci we don't build eg computers. That building bit is where design tech & engineering starts.

ok agreed on that one. just to me "rev X" is not necessarily "X" but if "rev eng" was "eng in reverse" then agreed

[160 char brevity!] specifically, agree that sci =/= eng. not sure if rev eng is in set of eng. but if it is, agreed sci =/=rev eng

a lot of/most eng esp materials science has been reverse engineering imho. Like when Europeans were figuring out porcelain.

another problem is that words like science and engineering are used confusingly and inconsistently.
