Well, Popper's main sin was being a philosopher. Trying to find "the" model of ideal scientific reasoning when there are in fact a gazillion of them in that messy thing called real life.
And trying to make his model of scientific reasoning precise and elegant, without realizing that the simpler the explanation, the less it explains in that messy thing called real life.
