Just Esquilax, being wrong again? I didn't say JUST direct observation...I said OBSERVATON along with REPEATED EXPERIMENT. The vast majority of the time, I always used those two criterion TOGETHER just so I wouldn't have people trying to play the "ah ha!!! gotcha!!" games...but obviously it didn't work.

Those same kinds of deductions lead us to believe that dinosaurs and birds share a common ancestor. You can't switch the types of evidence that's required on the fly based solely on your own convenience.
They conduct experiments too, don't they? Or do you not watch the show?
