This reminds me of a story about the time Edison wanted to know what the interior volume of a light bulb was. His engineers made all kinds of measurements with their calipers, applied differential equations to the curves between the different points, and then whipped out their slide rules and came out with a range of possible answers. Edison looked at the data, then went to a light bulb, filled it with water and poured the water into a graduated cylinder to get the answer. Bottom line- you can hypothesize, prevaricate, and predict all you want based on all sorts of known variables. However, in practice, you make a guess, jump in the water, and see what happens.
