Let’s just pause here for a moment. How many people in in this thread tend to agree or disagree with @Faizal_Ali here that what I described here regarding historical method can be the scientific method? I’m genuinely curious whether his viewpoint is common. I certainly don’t think this qualifies as the scientific method.
1 = strongly disagree (i.e., this should not be considered using the scientific method)
2 = tend towards disagree
3 = tend towards agree
4 = strongly agree

I’d be interested from those who have participated in this thread @AllenWitmerMiller, @cdods, @John_Harshman, @Mercer, @swamidass - as well as those who are historians (or at least working in the humanities) - @TedDavis, @rcohlers, @Joel_Duff, @Freakazoid - do you guys think that what I described above constitutes using the scientific method?
