Partially true. Science is an epistemological framework.

It has nothing to do with with arrogance, it has to do with the simple truth that science is based upon provable facts while philosophy is just concepts, thought experiments, or conjecture at best.
Science is based upon assumptions, these assumptions cause scientific actions to seek empirical data and extrapolate based upon it. Philosophy is those things, however, science is a philosophical theory. It progresses beyond the concepts, thought experiments and conjecture because the theory is already reasonably developed, however, science still gets critiqued by philosophy because scientific methods are still just part of a branch of philosophy.
