Suffice it to say from the little I know a high contrast "peer review is bad" or "peer review is good" view will be misplaced as "you'll find it's more complex than that".

The same criticism on such either or thinking applies IMHO when the word "open" is inserted above too. To evaluate a complex system it needs to be run (simulated or empirically). I'm a modeller though, of course I'd say that.

And I'm aware nobody in this thread disagrees probably... I just wanted to say it as I've seen claims made without computational nor empirical evidence and it's jarring.

That’s a great point that always jumps at me when reading especially philosophy of science. I see lots of empirical claims, never tested, accepted as is. What an incredibly vast domain full of research questions.

Tbh that’s why we study what we study. We need to understand the mechanics of science better before we try to “reform” it based on our assumptions.

"If it is impossible to predict the future directions of science, how can priorities for research be meaningful? Consider the irony of the consequent conclusion. Does it make sense to be scientific about everything in our universe except the future course of science?" Bloom 1998

I just love that quote - it sums up so much that has frustrated me over the years listening to people informing others about the correct way to do science.

TBF I think the question is a little cheeky even troll-y: "Does it make sense to be scientific about everything in our universe except the future course of science?" I'm not into scientism & humans, and scientists, are decidedly not scientific nor scientism-ic about everything.

Hmm I took it as mere hyperbole but that’s a fair point.

Given it was presented here, without any further context (and I personally have no idea of the context, sorry!) I just HAD to say that.
