Pondering where the tools came from is a philosophical path (vagueness)

Talk about the tools…or use the tools
Question the process of consciousness OR use process of consciousness
Philosophers question the questions…Scientists question the answers.

Yes, quanta07. You really ponder the human intellectual paradigm in-depth.
I agree with your statement "
Using the tools to gain knowledge is a scientific path (clarity)".
Using those scientific tools in a mainstream manner will bring out clear and safe but actually routine works.
Employing the flexibilities of math/equations can bring out rigorously derived frontier works.
However, just mainstream and frontier works are still insufficient to complete a TOE.
Philosophy analyzes will probe deeper and wider than the paths and coverage of physics/GUT.
The bottomland of Nature, IMHO, needs philosophy studies.
Those applications needs physics (and technology).
The wonderland of modern physics provide many good topics to sci-fi.
PreTOE Cosmic Enquiry is now taken care by metaphysics.
