Why the only real testing trumps all
Why the only real testing trumps all
Good to think about
The logical process should be straightforward: collect facts, form conclusions based on them, and then test those conclusions in the field. Even though real-world results are the ultimate judge of truth, we often find ourselves mired in never-ending disputes about the facts. These perpetual debates — "where did you get that?" "show me proof," "you're wrong, thinking that..." "it's not like that at all."
Here's the interesting part: we frequently reach inaccurate conclusions from seemingly solid facts or, conversely, arrive at correct conclusions based on incomplete or questionable information. The net result? It all boils down to mere conclusions.
Yet, if you ponder it for a moment, even conclusions are just that — conclusions. The accuracy of our conclusions can only be confirmed through real-life experience. This means that debating facts and even conclusions is often a waste of time. The real discussion should centre around practical ways to validate our conclusions.
So, the order of importance in this chain of "proper" actions, as outlined in the first point, should be: facts (important but not everything) → conclusions (even more important) → practical methods for testing (crucial) → actual validation in the field (the most vital). Strangely, in our world, we often find this order flipped on its head.
