False argument to positivism.

The REAL is not discovered by confirmation but by LIMITS.

We know something is a truth candidate only when we cannot find a method of it being false.

The fact that some idea ‘works’ tells us far less, than when some variant of that idea fails to work.

much of sophomoric philosophy is predicated on the desire for low cost epistemology: confirmation. While science and most advanced philosophy is predicated on the use of high cost epistemology: falsification.

So the example you give (as well as almost all sophomoric philosophy or religion) is an attempt for those without resources, those without patience, or those who are lazy, to find a discounted means of achieving their ends.

There are no free lunches.

Knowledge is expensive. Promises of cheap knowledge through the mind are merely deceits. Comforting deceits.
