In "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" (1935) Karl Popper deals with the case against the scientific method stated in the article without resorting to inductivism.

Making changes to the body of an Edited Entry is a lengthy process and doesn't happen fast or continously, but occurs when an entry _really_ needs a 'major' change. Or something. smiley - devil
