I'm sorry, but part of the whole point of scientific hypotheses is to provide an interpretation by which to understand and explain the data. Ex: Physicists interpret the empirical discovery of time dilation and length contraction as evidence as to the relativity of space and time, and they use that to interpret and explain further empirical data they gather. Rasetsu seems right on the money here.
