Actually not correct, words in a lab can mean different things from the popular usage. With Theory being the most popular misconception, as so many people believe that it just means I guess, when in reality it is closer to something we can’t test, but if it weren’t true so many other things that we can test couldn’t possibly be true.
Typically a theory is never proven nor disproven, it is however replaced with a more accurate Theory.
Inside of a laboratory, observation means something less like you saw it, and something more like you measured it. All the observation changing it proves, is that we don’t have a method of measuring it that will not interact with it.

Amen, who was it who said that the way to find out what group is getting away with too much bullshit is to look at what group you’re not allowed to criticize in any Circle?
The only one I can think of is the idea that the Jews made up the Holocaust to guilt the West into giving up Israel… Which is indeed antisemetic, and asburd
Thanks, I’m playing through Phoenix Wright, haven’t touched the games since high school…
After I finish, I’m going to playthrough a second time, recorded for a Federated Video Site
It’s not interesting if I’m going “Cmon cmon, what evidence is it?” for like 30 minutes of dead air while the audience is falling asleep or screaming “You idiot, the witness says he’s allergic to bananas, but he’s eating one right now! Show him the banana!”
I think I’m going to go ahead and do a let’s play for peer tube in order to help promote YouTube alternatives. So I look forward to a let’s play of Phoenix Wright I guess
