the correct term you need is ‘unachievable’, not ‘false’.
Comment on What are the strengths of the scientific method? What are its weaknesses?

Things should be replicable, but that hasn’t been the case for a while.

That’s just wordplay to make the problem seem like it’s not as big of a problem.

Common standards for language formally used in a specific profession aren’t “wordplay” lol

This isn’t a professional forum. Playing the “it’s a technical term” game is absolutely wordplay.

So then the failure of the scientific method is that people aren’t following it. That’s not so much a problem with the method.

If a method can’t practically be followed it’s a sign of a bad method, or at least one that needs modification.

It’s not that it can’t practically be followed, it is just that everyone running after H-index or whatever the hot thing is now has resulted in a drop in quality.

It can easily be followed. Just not within capitalism.
