And yet you won’t even consider suggestion to modify your ‘experiment’. Refusal to admit even the potential of error isn’t science, it’s hidebound dogmatism.

I don't think I am being "dogmatic". I don't think Semmelweis was being dogmatic when he refused to listen to the Levy's suggestion "Why not perform a simpler and more convincing experiment, to simply stop all the autopsies?". In fact, I don't think Levy could be described as "dogmatic" either, I think Levy was a positivist, and positivism rejects seemingly-magical explanations (such as the Semmelweis'es theory of cadaverous particles in blood causing death). If anybody, Benjamin Rush was being dogmatic.

This may come as both a shock and a disappointment to you, but you’re not Semmelweis.
