[MD] Alternatives to the scientific method

[ian glendinning]

Ha David, you know I agree. That is ...

You know I'm very careful to avoid exclusive concepts like "only".

You also well know I see Dawkins as deeply flawed - I'm careful to
recommend "the likes of" Dennett, Pinker, Maxwell but definitely not
Dawkins.

Like Platt or any extremist, Dawkins has his value in stirring up
debate as the best example of a bad lot, but not to be taken too
seriously, and not given too much freedom.
