      Sorry, I didn’t mean to give you a hard time! It’s notoriously difficult to understand EM accurately. You are nearly on-target; one thing emphasized in EM studies of sciencing is the differences between what is done and the official story of what is done.

      Oh i think I misunderstood you here—you meant “ought to be done according to official scientistic ideology.” Yes

      The problem is we don’t have accurate normative stories about how to do science well because we don’t have accurate descriptive stories about how it’s done at all

      I'm really curious about what's wrong about the Popperian Problems => Conjectures => Criticism by Experiment scheme? Noting that problems aren't only conflicts/paradoxes in an explanation, but basically anything that makes one dissatisfied about it.

      It’s not specific enough to be useful.

      To be a bit more specific (:p), can one argue that there better and worse, though not systematic criteria for choosing between problems and interpretations of thoughts that inspire problems, and these cannot be accounted for in a crit-rat account of science? @reasonisfun

      Clearly it’s partly true that science proceeds by replacing old theories with better ones. But this is obvious and unhelpful.

      Unless there’s specific investigation of what “better” means in different cases, how to choose a criterion of betterness from among the many available, how to come up with better theories, how to design an experiment that will test a theory, >

          and all the other practicalities of actually doing science, I don’t see that critical rationalism has anything to offer. There appears to be no there, there. I would love to be proven wrong!

          Here’s a more detailed version of that critique of critical rationalism, suggesting we need a better theory :)pic.twitter.com/HCChsmUOqS

          The hard-to-vary criterion according to @DavidDeutschOxf ? Too vague still?
