You are practicing the medicine of today. If we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing, according to Feynman, then you’re sure to be proven wrong!
No.
Richard Feynman never makes any such statement.
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. – Rogers’ Commission Report – Richard Feynman.
I am not interested in fooling nature.
I am interested in finding out the way nature works.
I will never know everything about the way that nature works, but I do know that trying to fool nature is not the way to find out.
Science is a means of finding out the way nature works. Science does not impose its biases on nature. Science observes nature.
Alternative means of finding out the way that nature works do impose their own biases on nature.
Alternative means of finding out the way that nature works do try to fool nature.
