“The danger of making STEM "a thing" is that it turns Science and Math naturally into handmaidens of Engineering and Technology. We start to see science as primarily a path to application instead of knowledge. We start to see math as a tool for technologists and engineers to apply rather than to increase our knowledge. The departments get intermixed. And, math and science are enslaved to application.” - David Goodwin
May the Lord bless you as you continue forward for His glory and your joy in Him!

Yes, ma'am! And your last sentence is absolutely over the target: "After all, no one ever criticized Dr. Frankenstein for his lack of expertise."
