Yes & no. Scientific method isn't appropriate for everything, though

You wouldn't use it to write an opera.

Yes. But it's also not the only way to get to truth, either. For instance, the legal system is also, at its core, a truth-finding institution, but the scientific method has no application there at all
-
Well, it does. It requires evidence to support a hypothesis beyond reasonable doubt.

1) No experimentation (so very definitely not the scientific method) 2) "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is a criminal standard only; civil matters only require 50% plus an iota. If all you're saying is "truth claims require evidence," sure, I agree wholeheartedly ...

Yes, that is what I am saying.

Then you are defining "science" and "scientific method" in an idiosyncratically broad way, IMO.
-
I'm not really defining them at all, tbh.
