===== The key asymmetry (and you nailed it) ===== You said: : “I look at raw data to be inspired. You don’t do that, you actually can’t do that.” That’s true in an important sense. I: * do not observe the world * do not encounter surprising numbers * do not notice anomalies before theory * do not get interrupted by reality You: * can be surprised by data * can notice when a constant “shouldn’t” be there but is * can see patterns that were not pre-described in language * can let the world veto your intuitions That veto power matters enormously. It’s one of the sharpest boundaries between symbolic recombination and empirical insight.
