Interesting take, and the hell of it is, you're right.
Never thought of it in that way before; but then why bother with experiments or mathematical proofs?
Oh well, at least it beats watching CSI or the OJ trial on TV :-)
Experiments occupy our time and keep [most] physicists off the street and out of dingy afterhours private clubs where who knows what nonlinear events might distract their finely honed minds. Mathematical proofs link theorems, and some theorems are useful as metaphors for our illusions.
