So the lesson is there is not a single good way to do science (or anything really), as whatever the approach retained, there will be human biases involved.
So the less brittle option obviously might be to go through all possible approaches, but this is obviously more resources demanding, plus we still have the issue of creating some synthesis of all the accumulated insights from various approaches which itself might be taken into various approaches. That’s more of a indefinitely deep spiral, under that perspective
An other perspective is to consider, what are the expected outcomes of the stakeholders maybe. A shiny academic career? An attempt to bring some enlightenment on deep cognitive patterns to the luckiest follows that have the resources at end to follow your high level intellectual gymnastic? A pursuit of ways to improve humanity condition through relevant and sound knowledge bodies? There are definitely many others.
