If a theory is never put into practice how can it be validated or invalidated? Isn't the proof of the pudding in the eating?

    It can never be entirely validated without a practical test. But with good and realistic planning you can get ckose. This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at September 18, 2017 2:30 AM MDT

    How do you KNOW if your planning is realistic JakobA? I mean how do you measure that in advance of testing it? I've always wondered about that. Just as theory cannot be proven in advance of testing it..neither can it be disproved. That's probably why there are so many nutjob conspiracy theories around. Wildly improbable. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :) This post was edited by RosieG at September 18, 2017 2:43 AM MDT
