@zieben64 I think you're misunderstanding the point he's making. He's noting that depending on the way we make observations (in certain cases), such as with what happens in the electron field, we get different results. In that way, we can't be certain about what is actually happening.
The two statements aren't necessarily incompatible.

Philosophy of Science is not the same thing as saying Philosophy IS science. I would agree with Kaufmann's statement that philosophy is closer to literature than it is to any sort of scientific discipline.

did anyone else cringe when Putnam said "professor popper" ? Here I'm assuming he means Karl Popper...

You're seriously claiming to understand this better than Hilary Putnam, one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century? Jesus on a bike. . .
