Sorry I failed to communicate that more clearly!
That said, there is something to be said for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_analogy
The word "perfect" is problematic to me. It's ascribed to God to contrast with man, as most of us would agree that nothing we do is perfect. Using it implies the same religious status of being above man's foibles.
I like the word "useful" here, or "anti-fragile" in the original comment.
Further, I like defining context. Useful in what class of problems? For I don't think the scientific method is regarded as particularly useful in all domains. Consciousness and the subjective are valid realms of human experience worth dedicated inquiry, for which the scientific method seems woefully lacking.
