I’ve finally found out why I seem to disagree with Don Burleson more frequently that I do with other people on the internet.
From a recent OTN thread:
Me: “you’re supposed to design a theory to match the facts, not select the facts to match the theory.”
Burleson: “I think it’s the other way around, Jonathan, the scientific method requires that you start with a hypothesis.”
So that’s my problem – I let the facts stand in the way of a perfectly nice theory.
