The abuses of Popper

A powerful cadre of scientists and economists sold Karl Popper’s ‘falsification’ idea to the world. They have much to answer for

This long, rambling screed tries to make the argument that “falsification” is bad science.

I defy anyone who actually has done science to explain how science can be done *without* a focus on falsification. Note that the author here is not a scientist, but “is professor of science humanities and honorary professor in history.” Her arguments against falsification in science come from *philosophers,” not actual scientists. She seems to take issue with the whole notion of skepticism in science.

Bah.
