    Why not both?

    What’s decided to be worthy of study is subjective. The process to hypothesize, experiment, and conclude what’s being studied is objective.

      Do you or have you ever worked in science? I did for a bit and that was not my impression.

      One cannot really argue that science as practiced is very effective at certain things but it is also extremely far from being objective in practice. Especially the further you stray from simple physical systems.

      Also like I never saw someone formulate a hypothesis in any sort of formal sense haha.

      Even by itself, the first statement might not be the case. I don’t remember the book that well, but I remember thinking it was a good introduction to this topic. Philosophy of Science: A Very Brief Introduction by Samir Okasha.
