  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #640.

Looking at it in a Popperian way, I think problem solving is a lot like doing science.

#640 · Dennis Hackethal, about 1 month ago

I don’t think it’s “a lot like” doing science – the underlying logic is the same, science being just one particular instance of problem solving. This is then acknowledged in the subsequent sentence:

[...] Popper’s epistemology applies to all problem solving, not just to science.

So why mention science if you’re just going to generalize the restriction away regardless?
