TLDR of anarchist (Feyerabend) philosophy of science as opposed to “scientific method”. If you think of science as a method, you’re more likely to build a bureaucracy of science than do science. Science is peculiarly vulnerable to turpentine effects.

Ah I see your confusion. LIGO is great, it’s an instrument for measuring gravity.
It’s instuments for measuring the ‘scientific method’ itself (eg journal impact factors, citations...) that I see as turpentine effects. The bureaucracy of institutional science.
