The scientific method should at least be given respect as an organizing myth, one still followed in the structure of a paper, especially when there is a definite experiment. It is also worthy to try to explain how science differs from other things, both to children and outsiders.
I can see the value of that, but I think it’s doing more harm than good, on balance. One way: implicit assumption that if we spend $2bn on scientific field X we’ll get 2x the output of spending $1bn, so long as everyone is bureaucratically forced to “use the scientific method.”
