Hey Schwartz, do you really believe for even one fleeting
moment that the man-made empiricism operates w/o theory?

Crackpot Patrolmen swallow theory hook, line and sinker.
And expect everyone else to be led around like sheep.
They cannot look outside the cave of context.

> 2) Hey Brown, you are an empirical idiot.

Hey Schwartz, you are a logical idiot.

Logically, even if you are the best physicist the planet has
ever known, it is impossible to show empirically that there
is "no aether", rather all it can say is, "no aether in vacuum
and solid state devices to at least 10^-14".

You sound like a betting man. The odds are open for
what's happening down below 10^-15, or indeed in
the realm of gas-mode devices. Or are *you* an
impirical idiot?

Have a noice day,
