Then the textbook is wrong though. Most sciences operate by postulating models and then verifying experimentally whether their models hold up in practice. Economics is the only science I know of that seems to have almost a disdain for experimental verification, combined with the comically arrogant attitude that if reality doesn't conform to their models, then surely reality must be wrong.
