Memes are a metaphor: the viral idea. They don't explain how ideas seem
to take over their hosts and turn them into factories for spreading
themselves, they just make a poetic comment about it. Complaining that
memes aren't science is like complaining about "sea of troubles" because
problems aren't really wet and salty.
