Digital BW, The Print

I don't believe anyone of us is claiming the
scientific method doesn't work. Clearly it does within
its limitations. But it does have its limits and
boundaries as any Philosophy of Science will freely
admit. (Check-out David Hume for example.)  As a
scientist myself, who applies science to human beings
and to art, I can testify that in addition to science
- empericism (learning from experience w/o the formal
scientific method), subjectivity, and even mysticism
are frequently ALSO essential.  To use a cliche we
shouldn't "throw the baby out with the bathwater."...
