Look, science already has standards for what constitutes valuable hypotheses. It simply doesn't force people to apply those standards in order to be practicing the scientific method.

Maybe you should think more about why those standards aren't seen as a necessary requirement, before you insist that such unenforcement is a weakness and a laxity.
