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.

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?

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, >
