You are not comparing like with like. You are saying that science as a whole, over the long term, is able to correct it’s biases, but you know perfectly well that in the short term, bad papers got published. Interviewing individual philosophers isnt comparable to the long term, en masse behaviour of science,
Where is the evidence that philosophy, as a field, has converged towards correctness over time?
Where is the need for it? The question us whether philosophers are doing their jobs competently. Can you fail at something you don’t claim to be doing? Do philosophers claim have The Truth?
Socrates rather famous said the opposite...he only knows that he does not know.
The claim that philosophers sometimes make is that you can’t just substitute science for philosophy because philosophy deals with a wider range of problems. But that isnt the same as claiming to have The Truth about them all.

That’s basically what they’re for, yes, and certainly they claim to have more Truth than any other field, such as “mere” sciences.
Is that what they say?
