There seems to be a great deal of confusion on this point. Simply put, a
properly carried out program of methodological doubt offers the best (in
fact, the only) basis for an approximation of certainty. I believe a cult
stud-like study of the cultural studies of science community would be
vastly more damning than anything they do.
