LakatosVsPopper: falsification (ism) ("Man proposes, nature disposes") cannot be right, because it presupposes the distinction theory/observation.
Incorrect assumptions:
1. that there is a psychological barrier between speculative and observation records
2. that observation sentences could be proved by facts.
>Theory, >Observation, >Observation sentence.

Schurz I 15
Falsification/asymmetry/Popper: falsification applies in strict (universal sentences without exception): they cannot be verified by a finite set of observations, but they can be falsified by a single counter-example.
>Universal sentences, >Verification.
LakatosVsPopper: Theories are never rejected on the basis of a single counter-example, but they are adjusted.
>Progress.},
