Possibly, I do not know, but the burden of proof lies with the one making the assertion, or writing the definitions that describe reality as it is (as opposed to reality as it is hypothesized). > Either way we couldn’t set up the experiment precisely enough to rule out determinism. Guessing when one reaches the limits of our epistemological limits and stating the guesses as facts (if(!) that is what has happened) does not seem very scientific. > So, is this science or philosophy? If science is not resilient to valid epistemic challenges, it should perhaps adjust its marketing message accordingly...although the genie seems to be well out of the bottle on that front, and I sense little intention or desire to put it back in (quite the opposite, if anything).
