I agree. I am just disagreeing, based on historical data, with the claim that philosophers of science have special insight or skills that will make scientists do science better.

I am more interested in philosophy of science and read more on it than (conservative estimate) 95% of my colleagues, and I just see no evidence that it puts them at any disadvantage as scientists relative to myself. Many are thoughtful and brilliant scientists, who excel at spotting problems.
