In other words, science is good (and retrospective analysis
can be good science).

My stats prof Andy Barron gave me a copy of his dissertation.
I almost dropped it on the floor of his office (it was only
3/16" thick). He proved that systematic data mining sufficed
to obtain (in the fullness of time) all truth: if the world
is lawful the candidate laws on formulation are recursively
enumerable and the candidate data sets against which they may
be tested likewise so diagonalization yields a method which
converges to the desiderata.
