I feel a lot of the things described in the article is happening in fields like information security now. It was interesting listening to the 33C3 talk "In Search of Evidence-Based IT-Security"[1] a couple of days ago and read this Feynman-article now.

The article may have been posted before, but it was new to me.

This article is always relevant. There is always an expert telling people to do something a certain way because reasons, despite zero evidence for those reasons.
