Control in experiments is critical for internal validity, which allows you to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between variables. 204.133.30.36 (talk) 17:23, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Text "In particular, Paul Feyerabend, in the 1975 first edition of his book Against Method, argued against there being any universal rules of science;[17]" points to incorrect reference. "Against Method" is currently reference [139] Feyerabend, Paul K., Against Method, Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge, 1st published, 1975.
