And, where does statistics fit in with your perception of reality? Explanation without prediction is just entertainment. All entertainment is frivolous, therefore explanation without prediction is frivolous. In prediction, one uses a model. Have you taken a poll of physicists to see what percentage believe that their models are completely accurate predictors? I am going to guess that you will find almost none. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Epistemology" group.
