“Salvage” seems like a very strong frame/asserting what you’re trying to prove. Something that needs salvaging has already failed, and the implication is you’re putting a bunch of work into fixing it.
It only counts as salvage epistemology if the person doing the mining explicitly believes that the thing they’re mining from has failed; that is, they’ve made a strong negative judgment and decided to push past it. I don’t mean for the term to include cases where the thing has failed but the person mistakenly believes it’s good.

Suggestion withdrawn.
