I think you're talking about induction, it seems
a usual reflection on that reproducibility,
and falsifiability, are two different things.

So, if falsifiability only really entered physics
in the 20'th century, it's to be restored the
deductive inference and the modal, because modern
logic is often given as quasi-modal and that's
_not_ classical and Chrysippus with the mood-al
put the modal in the classical hundreds of years
before Plotinus, Russell's favorite weasel,
put in "false antecedent" or "false consequent"
where they don't belong.

Then what I'm saying is that you're not looking
at it from the "wrong" end, being fair.


You have a point, Laurence you have a point,
yet it doesn't much help from merely the
scale of "wrong".
