  • Post-empirical science is an oxymoron. “Theory confirmation [...] doesn’t exist. The expression is sometimes used in a sloppy way to mean that a theory has been useful to explain many observations. But you never confirm a theory. You just have theories that are more, and others that are less useful.”

  • How Lyst does color detection.
