Empirical data is then used in a hypothesis which can now be tested to develop a theory. If Drich's "empirical data" can be used to test a hypothesis (without drugs, shock therapy, brainwashing, torture, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, lobotomies, etc.), then I will step back.
Show how my "green faerie" sighting can be used as empirical data. (The batteries were dead in my camera or I would have got a picture and that would be empirical data.)
