摘要：

The mistaken phrase 'exact science' is explored and various misconceptions in relation to DNA evidence, which stem from the idea that science is exact, are discussed. Finally, the author maintains that whether or not forensic science is a 'science' is very much dependent on a state of mind. Certain attitudes which do not appear to be very scientific are discussed.
