However, part of this body will probably be proved to be mistaken in the future. Therefore, it is better to define science in terms of methods rather than in terms of results. 3. Science as an activity What makes something a science? Is there a common scientific method? (will be discussed later) What is the demarcation criterion between Science and Non-science? Important problem in Philosophy of Science Useful to discredit Pseudo-science. Falsifiability Karl Popper’s criterion of demarcation: falsifiability Falsifiability is the possibility to falsify. A statement is falsifiable if it is possible that it conflicts with an observation. Marx’s theory of History, Freud’s Psychoanalytic theory, Astrology, etc. Being infalsifiable does not mean being incorrect. It simply means being unscientific. Pseudo-science typically holds infalsifiable theories to be scientifically true. Criticism:
actions.. the distance acts as a buffer. Asking you to pull the trigger of a gun may cause you more issues. Kriitika Milgram was fiercely criticised. His results upset people - this may have been because they felt uncomfortable with what it showed about ordinary Americans. Maybe if they had not been so shocking (excuse the pun!) people would not have given Milgram's work a second thought, perhaps the unpalatable findings made people seek to discredit the procedures. Milgram's work on obedience was attacked on ethical grounds, saying he deceived people and caused unreasonable distress. Volunteers often showed extreme stress sweating, trembling, stammering, even having uncontrollable fits. The APA decided that Milgram's work was ethically acceptable. On practical grounds, people argued that demand characteristics created the high rates of obedience.

Would mortify me now. Whatever wrong They find to charge me with, I'll not deny it But guard against the pride of self-defence. Believe their stories, arm your wrath against me, And drive me like a villain from your house; I cannot have so great a share of shame But what I have deserved a greater still. ORGON (to his son) You miscreant, can you dare, with such a falsehood, To try to stain the whiteness of his virtue? DAMIS What! The feigned meekness of this hypocrite Makes you discredit . . . ORGON Silence, cursed plague! TARTUFFE Ah! Let him speak; you chide him wrongfully; You'd do far better to believe his tales. Why favour me so much in such a matter? How can you know of what I'm capable? And should you trust my outward semblance, brother, Or judge therefrom that I'm the better man? No, no; you let appearances deceive you; I'm anything but what I'm thought to be, Alas! and though all men believe me godly, The simple truth is, I'm a worthless creature. (To Damis)
haughty. It was all pride and insolence. But when this subject was succeeded by his account of Mr. Wickham--when she read with somewhat clearer attention a relation of events which, if true, must overthrow every cherished opinion of his worth, and which bore so alarming an affinity to his own history of himself--her feelings were yet more acutely painful and more difficult of definition. Astonishment, apprehension, and even horror, oppressed her. She wished to discredit it entirely, repeatedly exclaiming, "This must be false! This cannot be! This must be the grossest falsehood!"--and when she had gone through the whole letter, though scarcely knowing anything of the last page or two, put it hastily away, protesting that she would not regard it, that she would never look in it again. In this perturbed state of mind, with thoughts that could rest on nothing, she walked on;

Lansing appended this codetext to the wire he sent Page at 8 p.m. the day of the expose: Some members of Congress are attempting to discredit Zimmermann message charging that message was furnished to this government by one of the belligerents. This government has not the slightest doubt as to its authenticity but it would be of the greatest service if the British government would permit you or someone in the Embassy to personally decode the original message which we secured from the telegraph office in Washington, and then cable to Department German text.

those most likely to benefit? Yes. People respond to incentives. Simple due diligence: Peruse the required "con icts of interest" section in studies or reviews related to diet and look for "consulting fees." If McCorporation or the XYZ Lobby decides it's too obvious to fund studies directly, hiring researchers as consultants can be an indirect means to the same end. James Hill of the University of Colorado, as one example, is well known for attempting to discredit the relationship between obesity and higher insulin levels caused by sugar consumption. In his stated con icts of interest, you will see that he has received consulting fees from Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods, and Mars Corporation (makers of Snickers, M&Ms, and Mars Bars). Does this make him guilty of skewing data to serve corporate interests? No. But it should make you look closely at the studies themselves before accepting the headlines and making behavioral changes in your life.
