Yes. Physicists I talked to denied that Popper's "Scientific Method" had
anything to do with what they did and were more inclined to a
Feyerabendian view of the process. Except they had little time for
Feyerabend because he seemed to be "attacking science" on the basis of
what Popper said scientists did!

Cheers
