Very Zen. The failure to recognize the limitations of one's received cognitive instrumentation. And this instrumentation is empirically oriented so without empirical validation what have you got? And with emphasis placed on theories which are 'sufficiently elegant and explanatory' while setting aside the need for experimental confirmation merely sets the theorist up for 'The great tragedy of Science — the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact' (Thomas Huxley) |
