I would attribute the (mis)use of that word a little bit more to the author of the article, and a little bit less to 'centuries of philosophers' - many of whom were scientists.
- smt88 10y agoTo add on to that: science is based on philosophy, and philosophy also tells us where the limits of science are (see: Problem of Induction). By using the scientific method, scientists are taking a strong philosophical stance (and certainly not a universal one) whether they like it or not.
