There is a monster of matter and energy that hurls billions of photons at the Earth every second. It exists. And it exists in world 1. When we look into the noonday sky, we are treated the image of a brilliant glowing disc (that's world 2). We have determined all kinds of facts about this "brilliant glowing disc" such as that it is comprised mostly of hydrogen has a gravitational field associated with it, could be the giant wheel of a Greek chariot (world 3 stuff).
To me, some of these facts are objectively true. Others are objectively false.

Couldn't a soap opera be said to have "a self-correcting, continuous improvement mechanisms to deliver high value intrinsic quality information?" At least a well-written one, perhaps. So what separates science from a well-written soap opera from science? To me, something separates them. They are obviously distinct things.
