http://shkrobius.livejournal.com/333622.html?thread=2936118#t2936118 Once I had a program review and a reviewer told me that my methods are not quite scientific. I replied that I can make them perfectly scientific, if the panel recommends so: that according to Popper, science can only disproof rather than proof. So instead of doing my things I will take the favorite theories of this reviewer and devote all of my life to shooting them down one by one, and this would be exactly the realization of the scientific method he insisted upon. That shut him down for good. No one asked me to use "scientific method" ever since.
