Looking at "reams of data" is how theories are formed, the things that can then
be tested via "scientific experiment." When, instead, you just make things
up--the Mises method--then doggedly hold to the "theory" you made up, even when
all experience suggest exactly the opposite conclusion--also the Mises
method--you are operating entirely counter to science, just like Mises, and no
one will or should take you
seriously.
