On this view efficient scientific iteration evidently requires unhampered feedback. The iterative scheme shown as a feedback loop in Figure A (2). In any feedback loop it is, of course, the error signal - for example, the discrepancy between what tentative theory suggests should be so and what practice says is so - that can produce learning. The good scientist must have the flexibility and courage to seek out, recognize, and exploit such errors - especially his own. In particular, using Bacon’s analogy, he must not be like Pygmalion and fall in love with his model.
