I often hear methodological anarchists claim that in the war against the authoritarian effects dogma, we need to arrive at some sort of "epistemic balance," and yet they are never able to concretely answer where this balance would lie, what it would entail beyond a nebulous pluralism, and how it would ensure better results through overturning the scientific method in a general sense (I only ever hear basic bitch anecdotes: Galileo, Einstein, etc.). On the contrary, I can point to instances where entire fields have benefited from the universal implementation of the scientific method. For example, since the introduction of evidence-based research as the determinant of clinical practice in the early 90s, medicine has seen what is almost certainly its greatest improvement in patient outcomes since the introduction of antiseptic practices (inb4 Semmelweis was an ebin methodological anarchist).
