Stop relaying on Wikipedia. It's neither accurate nor reliable.
Moreover, reading your article indeed reveals that, as you testified, you have little understanding of how the scientific method works and a twisted view of the history of science.

Well feel free to tell us how scientific method works, then, you're welcome to educate us, if you wish

I don't really think that Flinn is talking much about scientific method (which involves testing and Flinn isn't testing anything) nor about history of science either.
He's simply recapitulating what's the most common (in a rational perspective) way of thinking (and philosophizing) about reality, as nowadays is intended from a decently cultured person.
And I like a lot he's putting relativism as both an answer and as a question.
I'm gonna read that part about gravity, the difference (or not difference) between "discovery" and "invention" seems quite interesting.
