The latter, i guess. I may have a simplistic view of science too and I would like to change that. I took one philosophy of science course and... It didn't go well.

oh sure. i recommend lee mcintyre's "the scientific attitude", massimo pigliucci's "nonsense on stilts", kevin elliott's "a tapestry of values", and while it's more sociology of science than philosophy, julie posselt's "equity in science" is something i've recommended a lot lately
