Since "approximation" is equivalent to a "known hole", there is no
single scientific theory without known holes out there?! Well that's a
segfault in brain - unless you don't consider math science of course.
A scientific theory is just a set of axioms and deduction rules. Not
much more by definition...
I think a better explanation of 'scientific theory' is:
an explanation or definition of observed behaviour with no known error
which, is what I believe Linus was trying to say
