Not any more than palm reading is a science (it's not.) It could be considered an art I suppose, but science needs to be things that can be tested and produce repeatable results.

If me and 5 friends read your a-hole, I bet all of us would come to the same conclusion.

Still wouldn't make it scientific. Nothing was tested. It was only observations and imagination. You could all lay in the grass and agree that a cloud shape looks similar to something else. Doesn't mean a thing.
