Abstract
It is argued that rather than a well defined F‐Twist, Milton Friedman's ‘Methodology of positive economics’ offers an F‐Mix: a pool of ambiguous and inconsistent ingredients that can be used for putting together a number of different methodological positions. This concerns issues such as the very concept of being unrealistic, the goal of predictive tests, the as‐if formulation of theories, explanatory unification, social construction, and more. Both friends and foes of Friedman's essay have ignored its open‐ended unclarities. Their removal may help create common ground for more focused debate in economics.
