What on earth - he asked, incredulously - would you consider an "experiment"?

I posted it once - I can post it again.

experiment - A test under controlled conditions that is made to demonstrate a known truth, examine the validity of a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy of something previously untried.

Argument by repetition. Nice, but doesn't advance your cause, whatever that may be.

Let me speak slowly, and fill in the blanks for those having trouble following. You have defined "experiment". Which part of that definition does my example not meet, and why?

What the heck is a "experimental observation" supposed to be?

You're obviously familiar with the dictionary - I imagine that if either word proves difficult, you can go and look it up.
