You subconsciously agree with me already, you aren't truly a vulgar empiricist as you do generally agree with advancing beyond simple experiment into connected conclusions and theories about the world. This is how science functions, after all. My point of critique, however, is that you retreat from this scientific position towards the vulgar empiricist conclusion when it comes to politics. We cannot simply throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, we need to actually understand what we are trying to do before implementing it.
