Please, enlighten us. Provide a definition of the term "empirical."

Your term was "Empirical Theory". Why don't *you* try to define
that in terms of "empirical" and "theory".

In theory at least, we should be able to empirically determine that
Larry is not theorist about empiricism, but rather an empiricist.

empiricist, n. -- a quack

Floyd:

I request meaningful participation in the debate, you respond with more
name calling. If I made some sort of faux pas in the use of the term
"empirical theory," anyone interested in maintaining a useful discussion
of the issues would have simply corrected the error, and let it go. However,
it seems as though I've merely armed you with a straw to grasp, to be
utilized whenever you can't be bothered to continue to contribute
rational, logical arguments.

Since you've obviously abandoned the notion of reasoned
discourse, you automatically lose. You're out of your league here,
Floyd. Just like your colleague, Lennie.

Larry:

Look it up in a dictionary if you don't believe me, though that
probably won't get you in anybody's league, given the above
bunch of hypocracy.
