dclayh comments on Frugality and working from finite data

[dclayh]

Of course, we have no way to create new stars or galaxies of our own

Well, we do make simulations.

Simulations allow us to predict what will happen if theory X is true. We still need to find a corresponding real event to check whether the prediction agrees with the fact.

I agree, I was just pointing out the flaw in your wording.

Oh. Thanks.
