Hmm, I may need to reread the paper, but my understanding that they were also using Hume in the context of the question which asked which philosophers or philosophical schools people most identified with.
True, but when RobbBB comments on experts being wrong, he specifically mentions the tendency of philosophers of science to be Humeans, so I'm pretty sure he means to say they are mistaken in being Humean in this specific sense, not that it's just generally a mistake to be influenced by Hume (I don't get the impression that he is that down on Hume generally).
Yes, thanks for pointing this out. I'm not criticizing anyone for being a follower of Hume in general. I am decidedly not down on Hume, usually.
