A Culinary Science?

I never cook rice successfully despite the ancient Chinese proverb that says “Everyone can cook rice” or similar!
Unsurprisingly, I am something of a creative cook, untroubled by recipe precision, which accounts for my inability to ever recreate a tasty dish! I suspect that cooking rice is an exact science totally unsuited to my slapdash ways, with mysterious rituals necessary to create perfectly cooked, individual grains that dissolve effortlessly in the mouth. On that basis, I am relinquishing this burden and passing it onto my husband. His rice rocks but then his approach to cooking is sooooo different to mine!
