Hmm, not exactly, I think. If, I dunno, Merlin showed up in Times Square tomorrow and started summoning angels, that wouldn&#x27;t mean that our world is a Lovecraftian place filled with unnatural phenomena forever beyond mortal comprehension; it would just mean that our models of reality didn&#x27;t go far enough, and we need to do some research and start updating them.<p>I guess I&#x27;m saying that actual magic wouldn&#x27;t be merely <i>indistinguishable</i> from sufficiently advanced science, it would <i>be</i> sufficiently advanced science. Magic is just the flashier, stagier term for the same thing.
