Franklin does not cite my 1975 paper on the sociology of gravity waves either.

Third Series, The result is reported as equivalent to a confidence of 3.62 standard deviations.Lee (Weber's collaborator) and Weber's names appear on the paper, but Ferrari and Pizzella are an independent group. All positive results have to be in terms of coincidences between separated detectors and so long as the independent group has control over the data analysis (which they did), this counts as an independent experiment.I am not suggesting that this result makes much difference to the story of the demise of the credibility of the high flux claim between 1972 and 1975; it is merely a matter of accuracy in dealing with the literature.

The same points, along with many others, were made by Trevor Pinch in a response to an earlier and still less adequate version of Franklin's critique of the experimenters' regress.

Dissecting Surgery: Forms of Life Depersonalised
-
In another paper, (forthcoming), I try to argue that antisepsis procedures had been incorrectly described as serving the purpose of ‘depersonalising’ the subject of surgery. I argue that concern with antisepsis is a much more plausible explanation of surgeons' actions. In some ways, then, my argument is like Franklin's. To mount an argument of this sort is, however, very difficult. It cannot be done simply by showing that the antisepsis explanation is plausible. One must show that it is much more plausible than the other explanation offered. And one must show that the other explanation is implausible. And one cannot eliminate all other ‘non-scientific’ explanations just because the ‘scientific’ explanation is plausible (in the case of surgery, maintenance of status is another such explanation). The ‘scientific’ explanation has no special a priori privilege—it is one [[Truncated]]

This is an enigma which can only be resolved by compartmentalisation. I have also referred to its resolution as ‘special relativism’ or ‘social realism’.
