The primary focus of the article is instrumental, but there are epistemic elements as well because if you can run actual experiments, you can get closer to the truth than by thought experiments alone. Perhaps I should edit the article to say more about that directly.
If you can make it more on-topic—for instance, a worked example of a detailed abstract point about thinking, where you lead with the abstract point and then give the worked example—that’d make quite a good post IMO.
(I find writing here I tend to use the conventional “good writing” rule of “show, don’t tell”, when really I suspect I should be using “tell, then also show”. If this post is really about thinking, then it’s all “show” and no “tell”.)
