You see no contradiction in first calling Einstein a halfwit and then
invoking Einstein's name to support your insane theory?

Why were you trying to drag Einstein into the discussion? Only yesterday
you claimed he was a half-wit. See...

"He says to himself: "there we have the naked formulation of a metaphysical
prejudice, empty of content, a prejudice, moreover, the conquest of which
constitutes the major /epistemological/ achievement of physicists within the
last quarter-century."

"I can hardly think of anything more stimulating as the basis for discussion
in an /epistemological/ seminar than this brief essay by Reichenbach (best
taken together with Robertson's essay)."

"The essays by Lenzen and Northrop both aim to treat my occasional
utterances of /epistemological/ content systematically."

"Everything said therein appears to me convincing and correct. Northrop uses
these utterances as point of departure for a comparative critique of the
major /epistemological/ systems. "

"The scientist, however, cannot afford to carry his striving for
/epistemological/ systematic that far."

"He accepts gratefully the /epistemological/ conceptual analysis; but the
external conditions, which are set for him by the facts of experience, do
not permit him to let himself be too much restricted in the construction of
his conceptual world by the adherence to an /epistemological/ system."
