@anarchosaurus After reading a bit, I think I disagree with him -- though not strongly, as he has some valid points.
The institution of science often does slip into dogmatism, especially around certain customs. The customs emerged to serve a purpose, but can too easily become shibboleths used to maintain power-structures.
Some of the software governance ideas I'm working on are arguably re-engineering of the scientific process to reduce problems like that.
controversial take on rationality
I have to wonder what his commentary on the reluctance to publish negative results would be. I see it as kind of another manifestation of the shibboleths you mention.
