Subject: RE: BS: KISS keep it simple
Theory that has been validated and has shown good predictive and explanatory power, one can try and extrapolate to everywhere. After all, often in science, the most we can do is to draw our best inferences about unknown instances based on a theory that works well in many known instances. And that is much better than making arbitrary claims or drawing no inference whatsoever.
