> Most scientists would not say that science leads to an understanding of the truth. Science is a determination of what is most likely to be correct at the current time with the evidence at our disposal. Scientific explanations can be inferred from confirmable data only, and observations and experiments must be reproducible and verifi able by other individuals. In other words, good science is based on information that can be measured or seen and verified by other scientists. -- Christine V. McLelland
> Scientific method is what working scientists do, not what other people or even they themselves may say about it. When the scientist ventures to criticize the work of his fellow scientist, as is not uncommon, he does not base his criticism on such glittering generalities as failure to follow the "scientific method," but his criticism is specific, based on some feature characteristic of the particular situation. -- Percy W. Bridgman
