@J while I took extensive philosophy courses in my undergrad but I am still basically an engineer brain. the tons of cases you find an error or limitation in observation and you update your collection process and you don't have to re-evaluate your philosophical model of the world. yeah it is critical you need to be able to update your model but that's not the first thing you modify. in fact in some cases people want you to change your model because they are upset it's too good at predicting things and they don't want to update their model
