Ian,
Please check out the essay: "Anything goes": Feyerabend and Method (2005)
By Paul Newall
at
http://www.galilean-library.org/feyerabend.html
which is yet another piece which points out how you are misreading
Feyerabend's intentions.

I am judging for myself. That's kind of the point of this discussion.
"Everything goes" doesn't make literal, absolute sense. And so, since
I'm willing to believe that Feyerabend wasn't a moron and I don't have
a burning need to disprove his ideas, I'm willing to give him the
benefit of the doubt and read him charitably.
