I don't follow. Most 'facts' are considered facts because there is overwhelming data in support of their accuracy. I can't actually think about a 'fact' that isn't based on such study outside what are considered fundamental laws (which often time are discovered based on data collection).
For a fact to exist without massive supporting evidence via test data is outside the realm of science which doesn't make it much of a fact in my opinion.
- shoo 14y agocrudely, the "philosophy that data trumps everything" trumps "data". which perhaps was roughly similar to what you were saying if we rephrase "the philosophy that data trumps everything" as "the ideas of the scientific method".
