The quantitative exactness of sociometry can be equal, if not superior, to the quantitative exactness of the natural sciences.
Looking for a model for a scientifically sound social system man has tried in vain to imitate the physical and biological sciences. Stars and planets, rats and guinea pigs, are not equivalents of man. Man has tried to look for a model among the "automatic" sciences. But cultural conserves, calculating machines and robots are also not equivalents of man. The only approaches which he has neglected to use are the models derived from religious systems, perhaps because science owes its own existence and power to their decadence and disappearance; it is fearful of looking back. But it is from religious systems that sociometry has drawn its chief inspiration.
