Prescriptive statement

"Future scientific breakthroughs ought to be produced more by scientists who have mastered both their own specialties and basics of philosophy of science, including method." - I don't think an encyclopedia should be making "prescriptive" statements ("ought") like this. So this should be either removed or reformulated so that it just documents that "notable person XYZ made this prescription".

To be honest, that whole paragraph seems a bit fishy: "Frequently unable to defend their works from intellectual attacks, scientists also generally cannot optimize methods and productivity." That is such a general and meaningless statement. Scientists can't generally optimize productivity? What? --2A02:8071:2BD3:E300:689A:D30B:A237:A918 (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
