[Michael Scriven @scriv1]

Evaluation becomes a discipline when we are clear about e.g. the methodologies *distinctive* to #eval, not borrowed from related disciplines

[Michael Scriven @scriv1]

Medicine is a classic example of a colossal discipline on which our lives depend; 95% of it supported by #evaluation. Not value-free science

[Michael Scriven @scriv1]

It was David Hume's mistake to think that evaluative claims had to be derived deductively. You do NOT have to derive them deductively.

[Michael Scriven @scriv1]

The world had been creating and using evaluative knowledge for more than 2 million years before Hume started getting nervous about it
