But it does mean that the tests of most of our theories will be more nearly the character of illustrations than of verifications of the kind possible in relation with repeatable controlled experiments or with recurring fully identified situations. And this implies that our tests cannot be convincing enough to compel acceptance, even when majority of reasonable men in the field should be prepared to accept them as conclusive, and to approve the theories so tested as ‘non-disconfirmed,’ that is, as ‘O.K.’ ..."
