Show me someone that questions the scientific method. You would be hard-pressed to find a reasonable person who does. When people criticize "science" they are almost always criticizing academia. Getting pedantic isn't very helpful.

I don't know I think pointing out that OP is talking about academia can help with finding actual root causes. It wasn't a way to criticize the notion in any way. Using two things like science and academia interchangeably is not a minute detail IMO

That would have been a better comment without the dig. I suspect the person you're replying to would find "Against Method" interesting (assuming they haven't already read it).
