Science Isn't Strict Enough

Terrible title for a post that talks sense.

The scientific method is there to test theories. It does that perfectly. You're talking about how we formulate those theories in the first place, making best use of priors, current knowledge etc. If that's not Science's job, why the criticism?

If you want to tell us how to formulate better theories, using Bayes, just do that.
