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.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/03/18/the-turpentine-effect/ …
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.

Ah. But most working scientists would rather talk about *anything* but those, if only they didn’t have to deal with tenure committees and funding agencies — ie, interfaces to the world outside science.
