>"the scientific method is perfect" is a very bad misquote of the OP

:o

It's not a misquote, the comment I replied to really said that!

It's not your misquote.

But the original is "the scientific method is anti-fragile, The harder you attack it, the sturdier it becomes." The comment you replied to threw a lot of nuance away when it was replaced by "perfect", and you threw the context that kept it reasonable away when you decided to compare with a similar phrase from anpother context. So, you both together made a misquote.
