Science demands the existence of electrons, which haven't been
proven to exist. They are just theoretical entities which are
very, (very, very) useful for describing facts. Now, 'memes'
certainly have not proven to be quite as useful as 'electrons'
just yet, but they have been introduced in order to explain
facts about information and culture. They are not required
to exist; rather the concept of them is only required to be
useful, which it is.
