lol yes I believe I told David that via twitter or email ('you basically picked up Feyerabend's project') and even though Feyerabend may or may not have confirmed in latter years that the book is an elaborate troll, its point still stands

I've been told the stanford disunity theorists picked up where feyerabend left off, Ian Hacking in particular who wrote the foreword to the third edition of _Against Method_ but I haven't explored the work yet

I haven’t read as much of the Stanford School as I should have, and haven’t been much influenced by them because I only discovered them a couple years ago, but yes to a significant extent I’m reinventing their wheels

Historical question: to what extent were the Stanford philosophers of science influenced by the Xerox PARC / CSLI meta-systematic mafia who had similar-tasting ideas in the same place at the same time?

I was a peripheral member of the PARC/CSLI crowd, & I don’t remember any of the phil-sci names from then, but it’s hard to believe there was no cross-over. Although maybe it was something in the Palo Alto water supply at the time. That was a good time & place for serious thought!
