(… revisiting…) Just want to throw in here that operational proofs are possibilities, but they are still just falsificationary, not justificationary.Either one can produce a more parsimonious competitor or one can’t.The fact something isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it’s not best.

@curtdoolittle Labeling clearly rational work as “mysticism” is an attempt to “no true Scottsman” academia: “That wasn’t _real_ academic work on display, it was _religion_”.
Nah. That’s academia: A network of “social proof” (consensus/authority) void of operational proofs.
