Insisting that something meant to be literal, experiential, or interpretive is actually "scientific" as an explanation or justification for something that otherwise wouldn't fit a scientific framework. Often appears in debates about spirituality, consciousness, or meaning: "Meditation is just brain chemistry" (as if that explains the experience away). "Love is just hormones" (as if the reduction captures the reality). The fallacy lies in treating scientific descriptions as complete explanations, ignoring that science describes mechanisms, not meanings. The chemical is real; the experience is also real, and the chemical doesn't exhaust it.
