Sure you can. You just cut the optic nerve. There is no other connection between the brain and the retina, and that connection only carries signals in one direction.

Since all scientific research involves observation, description and analysis, points made in this article are applicable to historical and descriptive, as well as to experimental, research.

Because observation, description and analysis are part of the scientific method. However, they represent only part of the scientific method, but they represent the entirety of Lessans' method (excepting, of course, his allegedly unique ability to see relations that other people can't see). Lessans' method (if it can properly described as such) omits other essential elements, things like data collection, documentation, experiments conducted under controlled conditions, replicablity, etc.
