Ryan, I LOVE your definition of science! Very nicely said, and with that definition I am definitely with you.
Marisa, while I agree with you about the collecting for re-sale aspect (something I strongly disapprove of, to say the least), I think the rest depends on how you define personal collecting and education. Is collecting a garter to keep and observe in captivity not educational? What about collecting for use in an educational program?
This highlights the problem with trying to 'name something' and put it in a category when the boundaries might actually be quite blurry.
For example, many hunters are actually field experts on animals, and many field experts on animals are also hunters...
Cheers,
