Dyson Sphere hunt "not scientific"?

In the following message:

"RAM" states the following:

You still don't understand science. Â There are different scientific
strategies: applied (e.g. a highly limited model of this type is
SETI), pure (e.g theoretically and empirically well grounded research
that advances our theoretical horizons), exploratory (e.g. often a mix
of applied, pure, and pure speculation [along with possible use of
different methods of data collection and/or analysis]). Â Science can
be a fairly flexible enterprise but "no" science is based upon pure
speculation e.g. Â your "photographs and logos hidden in DNA" and
searching for the "existence of alien Dyson Spheres."

So you are claiming that any plans by SETI or similar organizations to
search other stars for Dyson Spheres or similar structures is "non-
scientific". Is that correct?

Yes


Do you agree?

My opinion is that RAM is just redefining science as he pleases,
adding or removing conditions to suit the argument.
