    Weakness: not usable for quantum physics/mechanics, etc where the outcome changes when the experiment is observed.

      That’s not true. The observation just becomes part of the experimental design, you can still make predictions about the outcome.

          It’s only a debate if you’ve never seen a paper about quantum mechanics. That’s how it works. If you really think that the scientific method “doesn’t apply” to quantum mechanics, you’re deeply misunderstanding either the scientific method or quantum mechanics.
