The Scientific Method, Rules of Rationalism, etc. etc. are all dogmatic in nature.

That an article refutes my claim means nothing, because I need not subscribe to the authority of the author or his position, especially according to the tenets of logical reasoning in which science bases itself. To have and adhere to a set of principles is to assert their authority; to include the submission to authority as a contrary to principle within those principles makes them self-effacing.
