This.
Isn't that the essence of science, really? Make the rawest observations you can, and then formulate theory on what they mean? It seems to me that filtering that raw information through one's philosophical world view (whatever that might be) is going to pointlessly limit the directions science might go in.
The particle controversy seems like the example to end all examples-- it was by letting go of older, more concrete, views of the workings of particles that science was finally able to move forward to where it is today, right?
