All experiences, and nothing provably more than that. Absolutely. All that goes with a discovery-- hearing people talk about it, writing numbers on a paper, looking things up on the internet, 100% of it-- it's all experience. Inferences beyond that may be judged on their pragmatic value, but it must be understand that theories of material are really theories of experience.
