You see I think science is philosophy in the sense of the Greek meaning, "philosophia" ("the desire to know" or "the search for knowledge"). That's why I take the basic stance I do on philosophy (modern day variant" ... I think it broadly speaking achieves nothing UNLESS it feeds back into science for testing in the real world.
From the sound of it we're almost on the same plain here.

And i would agree with you if philosophy was used as originally intended, but it isn't. When speaking about philosophy i prefer to refer to and object to it in the context of modern usage.
The problem most likely is all the home philosophers out there who know none but their own ideas.
