| To a large extent, I see it as a self-fulfilling prophecy. We assume that the 'things as the really are' are logical, ordered, rational, coherent and so forth. We develop a method that is both all of those things and is only capable of discovering things that are all of those things. We find evidence supporting our assumptions, and take this as proof of our assumptions. All it actually 'proves' is that we assumed certain things. |
