The scientific method is guranteed to work fro all visible phenomena true or false

If you think the scientific method is a way to get an answer to
any question, then the statement is false.

But if your concept of the meaning and purpose of the scientific method
is accurate, then the statement is ALMOST always true.

The meaning and purpose of the scientific method, in my own words,
is this:  It's a system of looking for answers that prevents you from
fooling yourself, and thinking that what you've found is the answer
when it actually isn't.
