- ... ``interesting''3
- To be precise, for any theory
including first-order arithmetic and strong enough to encode all effectively
computable functions.

- Except for this one difference,
i.e., Popper's claim that the incommensurability of paradigms implies relativity.

- ...[Fey75].6
- This is the only work
of Feyerabend that I have read on this subject. I understand that in other works
Feyerabend did not make such a strong claim.

- If there can be no sound and complete
description of a scientific method, perhaps ``method'' is the wrong word: perhaps we

from outside science, such as financial interest.

- I am thus
dividing science in something of the way Hilbert divided mathematics into its real and
ideal parts.
