THE IRONY OF CRITICAL RATIONALISTS?

Why would you first argue that verification (repeatability) of a test was insufficient, and that criticism (attempts to falsify the theory) in order to increase the empirical content (parsimony) of the theory. While then arguing against operationalism, which is a criticism of, and therefore test of, your observations, descriptions and deductions in order to increase teh empirical content?

Why is it that you would want to test a theory but not its construction?

Worse: what would the impact of this practice be on physical science? social science? law? Culture?

Some ideas are cancerous.
