I had that same confusion.
In spanish: Empirico means based on experience / anecdote.
In english: Empirical means based on scientific studies.
Maybe the previous author had the same confusion.
- jaimebuelta 14y agoIn spanish, "empirico" means exactly the same thing. Based on well tested observations, not your just "personal experience". Sure it is a little overused some times, but it still means some degree of confidence greater that "in my experience"
- elviejo 14y agoAccording to Real Academia Española... "It is relative to experience" http://lema.rae.es/drae/srv/search?id=hTXhUCMS1DXX2DI3MWRd http://lema.rae.es/drae/srv/search?id=hTXhUCMS1DXX2DI3MWRd empírico, ca. (Del lat. empirĭcus, y este del gr. ἐμπειρικός, que se rige por la experiencia). 1. adj. Perteneciente o relativo a la experiencia.
