[[Larry Laudan]] also agreed. In [[Laudan_(1984)#_SCITE4831d06ea2d0bc389f667bbe83339636|Science and Values]], Laudan argues that the methods that scientific theories are accepted depend on the values that scientists have. He recounted how knowledge of experimenters bias and the placebo effect led to the development of the double blind method in drug testing. many of the ideas promoted by Laudan are important precursors to Scientonomy.
In contrast the Sociologist of Scientific Knowledge (SSK) research program, including sociologists like [[Barry Barnes]] and [[David Bloor]] believe that scientists are motivated to a large extent by non-empirical social values.
