There is no such thing as “the” scientific method. Steve Gould makes his case for autonomy of paleontology (among historical sciences) in Wonderful Life.

Rather, I expect that there are numerous legitimate empirical methods only some of which are amenable to quantification, statistical inference, or models invoking random processes.

As long as “science” is pictured as some remote enterprise verging on Hogwarts — wizards only no muggles need apply — then continuity will be broken between scientific practice and everyday weighing of evidence to come to a reasoned conclusion.

Kierkegaard seems close to the truth about what constitutes disbelief — not doubt, but insubordination!
