Its worse than that. It doesnt actually work.

Unless you have videos of experiments designed to observe measurement devices we have created, on systems we have designed, it's all useless.

The only useful thing in figuring out how nature works is creating truely novel experimental circumstances and measuring them with novel devices created for that purpose.

You cannot do science as a statitics of images; that's pseudoscience. And chomsky is here only half-right; it's actually much worse than he's sayign.
