    Matt

    OK how do we understand that the experiment is open to different results?
    How is the possibility set up? What is the status of the results within the
    conceptual
    framework? Are they speech acts? Is there an agent involved? Or if you want
    to refer
    to causality, how do we get from causes to linguistic results? I think there
    is a big clue
    in the notion that we interpret the results. Any ideas?

    regards
    David M

    scientific experiment. OK imagine a test for ether. We construct an
    experiment that makes sense to most of the science community, if we get
    result A we have no evidence to contradict our ether theory, if we get
    result B it falsifies our theory. What is the status of the data for you?
    I.E. what is its status in the discursive community?

    it. Result A leaves ether theory intact while Result B falsifies it. Using
    Kuhnian language, Result A is explained by the disciplinary matrix the
    scientific community is using (i.e. ether theory), while Result B counts as
    an anomaly against the current paradigm.
