Einstein Speaks on the Foolishness of Methodological Conformity

‘The external conditions which are set for [the scientist] by the facts of experience do not permit him to let himself be too much restricted, in the construction of his conceptual world, by the adherence to an epistemological system. He, therefore, must appear to the systematic epistemologist as a type of unscrupulous opportunist.’ A complex medium containing surprising and unforeseen developments demands complex procedures and defies analysis on the basis of rules which have been set up in advance and without regard to the ever-changing conditions of history.” Quoted by Paul Feyerabend in Against Method, p. 10.

Can you think of an organization created on the basis of rules set up in advance and without regard to the ever-changing conditions of history?
