Interesting, thanks, Marsha! [I mean it] He seems to be saying that the "scientific method" as commonly misunderstood makes science into one big fire-fighting exercise in avoiding scientific embarrassment, rather than a broad experiential means of fulfilling sentient curiosity about reality. "Scientific method" in the criticized meaning sounds to me a lot like Pirsig's "static latching" gone overboard; an intellectualized attempt to elevate science to something it never was by defining it in static terms and in the process making it into something it never was and thus less capable of valuing DQ than it's precursoral experiential approach originally was (or could be). Sounds familiar. Just the other side of the same Western mirror. MP ---- "Don't believe everything you think."
