Your great achievements in science exclude all real world applications (engineering, pharmaceuticals, etc), where the critical details of a hypothesis don't fit

- thanatropism 7y agoNote that I said "science", not "engineering". Engineering is driven by usefulness and profit. Falsificationism isn't a stupid idea; it's even useful at a personal improvement level. But pharma or materials research use it because it tends to lead to good results, not because it's the very definition of what's worthwhile knowledge.
