This Idea Must Die: Scientific Theories That Are Blocking Progress | Mr. John Brockman

so-so

āāā
An interesting read. This book took me much longer than I expected. Quite frankly, I got bored with sections of it. The author groups together responses of members of the scientific community who address the question of what theories are blocking progress. I propose the name of the book be changed to Science: The Patch Notes.

Interesting ?

"Evidence-Based Medicine: Controlled experiments are therefore unnecessary for progess in new types of treatments, and they're not sufficient for implementing treatments with individual patients, who each have unique profiles."
