KIR, maybe it's just me but the more I read stuff the more I feel that any attempt at universal rule tends to fall flat in the face of exceptions, as is in the case of Popper. That is not to say there is no value to his claim of 'falsifiability.' It may well be that he himself recognised its weakness, which would explain why he switched his position from describing what is a scientific method to what it ought to be. And when it comes to regulating behaviour, well, that's just a call for rebellion, which may explain Feyerabend...
