Abstract
We live in a world of stridently competing commercial messages, pressed upon us in favor of one product or another. High-pressure salesmanship and hyperbole are not restricted to the world of business. In fact, “success in science depends not only on rational argument but on a mixture of subterfuge, rhetoric, and propaganda” (attributed to Feyerabend by Broad 1979).
