I strongly disagree. There are many domains where we have knowledge with little or no ability to conduct RCTs—geology, evolutionary theory, astronomy, etc. The models work because we have strong Bayesian evidence for them—as I understood it, this was the point of a large section of the sequences, so I’m not going to try to re-litigate that debate here.
