The philosophy of science came after science, not before it.

Doesn't "science" really just boil down to human observation/knowledge of phenomena? If so, how can it ever be detached from philosophy? If not, are you defining "science" as the actual phenomena itself, instead of its observation/etc.?

When you were 9 months old, and noticed that when you cried, your mother appeared almost immediately, what was the philosophical basis of your actions?

This is why researchers rely on peer review. Because results must be reproduceable by other researchers, this process has a tendency to iron out any personal biases that may have creeped in. It ain't perfect, but it's darn close.
