The theory of a post-industrial knowledgeable society was accompanied by ambitious claims regarding the power and capacity of science in social planning and policy-making. These exaggerated claims are based on a number of cardinal errors concerning the relation between social scientific knowledge and social practice. These errors are exposed and refuted by reference to theories of the role of science in relation to politics to be found in the works of C.E. Lindblom and Gernot Böhme
