I know, that's why Aristotle is terrible... No citation or data... are we just suppose to blindly follow the scientific method? Preposterous!
Reading through Fowlers "Good Environment"/"Bad Environment" lists... I can use my own critical thinking to see why one is good, or bad. Fowler while he doesn't really get his hands dirty with these problems he is very good at rounding up the current zeitgeist and common sense in ThoughtWorks and publishing it to the world. He's rarely been flat out wrong. (I don't mean this as an appeal to authority, just how I look at this article, and Fowlers publications in general).
