Please, be more specific. I am not sure exactly what are you responding to.
Do you mean that a math proof (or knowledge of it) can be considered as experimental method in some sense?
I don’t think you’ve responded to my linked comment. But OK, looking up a result in a math book could count as an experiment, as could any method by which you might learn about dyslexia or whatever you suspect might be confusing you. If you don’t believe anything like that could happen to you, either you made that judgement based on experience and science or you are very badly misguided.
To be honest, your comments confuse me. I knew about the link but I didn’t see a connection between the link and experimental method and where the citations in the link came from. I am not sure what you mean by “anything like that” in your last comment and I am not very interested in it.
But I prefer to keep the original problem: If looking up a result in a math book could count as an experiment what is the (broader) definition of an experiment, then?
Ahem. I can think of many ways that some broadly defined “experimental method” could come into play there.
(I think this may have came across a bit more confrontational than was optimal)
((Also, on that note, mirefek, if I came across as more confrontational than seemed appropriate, apologies.))
